Wisconsin finally looked like the team many thought it was last week, mauling Maryland 52-7, covering the spread for just the second time this season. Rutgers, meanwhile, is coming off two Big Ten maulings in a row, after falling at Nebraska last week 42-24. The Badgers try to keep pace in the Big Ten's West Division when they make their first-ever trip to New Jersey to take on their new conference foes, the Scarlet Knights, Saturday afternoon.
Wisconsin led 24-0 at the half last week against the Terps, on its way to an easy cover as 10-point chalk. Rutgers, meanwhile, in its first season in the Big Ten, lost two weeks ago at Ohio State 56-17 and last week at Nebraska 42-24, although it did manage a back-door cover as a 20-point dog against the Cornhuskers.
