With a National Championship game more than likely a wet-dream the Badgers could struggle this Saturday night.

Last season a better Wisconsin squad was steamrolling through its first four games before losing at Michigan State. In its next game, Wisconsin was 22-point chalk against a very undermanned Minnesota team. The Badgers only led 14-9 at half, and though they ultimately won 41-23, they didn't cover. Add to that the fact their opponent this week is Ohio State (a team that was No. 1 in the country until it was upset by Wisconsin last season) has some extra motivation in the form of revenge. The Buckeyes have progressed offensively since putting up 6 points versus Miami in mid-September. Their seven point effort against Michigan State could have been better with a couple fortunate bounces of the ball, too.

Take the home town Buckeye's plus the touchdown in a game Wisconsin is likely battling two foes, their own demons and a motivated OSU team.</m:defjc></m:rmargin></m:lmargin></m:dispdef></m:smallfrac>
