Michigan State enters this game looking to break a four-game losing streak after yet another double-digit loss this past weekend against Ohio State. Wisconsin, on the other hand, is coming into this matchup with momentum after drilling Northwestern in Jim Leonhard’s first game as interim head coach.

Advice and prediction

On paper, Wisconsin isn’t a terrible matchup for the banged up Spartans. The Badgers don’t have the explosive passing attack of the four teams they’ve played during this losing streak, but the Spartans’ inability to slow the run scares me here. Combine that with lackluster offensive play in recent weeks, and it’s hard to pick a Michigan State victory. I don’t have this as a lock pick, but I’m leaning Wisconsin in this game.

Prediction: Wisconsin 24, Michigan State 17
