Paul Bunyan’s Axe is on the line Saturday afternoon when the Minnesota Golden Gophers (7-4, 4-4) visit the Wisconsin Badgers (6-5, 4-4). Both teams coughed up their chance at Big Ten West title last week, so the only thing to play for this week is the Axe. Below is my college football pick for Minnesota vs Wisconsin.
