Minnesota Golden Gophers vs Wisconsin Badgers Prediction, Preview, & Odds – 11/29/2024

Big Ten rivals will play for Paul Bunyan’s axe on Friday when the Minnesota Golden Gophers face the Wisconsin Badgers at Camp Randall Stadium. Wisconsin is a two-point favorite in this rivalry game, while the total for the game is set at 44.5. Before Minnesota vs Wisconsin, be sure to read our preview for the game below, which includes our college football picks for this matchup.

Minnesota Looks to Claim Axe, Chop Down Wisconsin

Going into Friday’s college football action, the Minnesota Golden Gophers have lost two games in a row. They nearly upset Penn State in their last game, losing 26-25 to the Nittany Lions at home, in a game that could have knocked Penn State out of the College Football Playoff picture. This week, the Golden Gophers will look to rebound from that loss, end their losing streak, and cost their rivals a bowl bid. To do that, Minnesota’s offense will need to step up after averaging just 22 points per game during their two-game losing streak.

Wisconsin Faces Must-Win Rivalry Game

Wisconsin enters this week with a 5-6 overall record and a 3-5 record in Big Ten play. But the Badgers can reach six wins and a bowl bid if they can take care of business at home in their annual rivalry game with Minnesota. Wisconsin has dropped four straight games going into this matchup, three of which have come by double-digits. But during that streak, the Badgers nearly upset number-one Oregon at home, and the Badgers will look for just as strong a performance on defense in this must-win matchup.

Minnesota vs Wisconsin Pick & Prediction

Neither team in this Minnesota vs Wisconsin matchup has been particularly impressive this season. We will take Wisconsin to win and cover the spread at home, as they will give just a little bit more given everything that is on the line for them in this one. But we aren’t expecting an aesthetically pleasing contest from either of these teams in their regular season finale.
