Week 3 college football betting action sees the Wisconsin Badgers<\/strong> taking on the Northwestern Wildcats<\/strong> on Saturday October 4 at Ryan Field in Evanston, Illinois. \u00a0Cappers Picks provides free college football handicapping tips all season long. <\/p>\n After a tough start Northwestern was impressive last week on the road at Penn State. But do they have enough to beat the Badgers too?<\/p>\n Wisconsin Badgers (3-1) vs. Northwestern Wildcats (2-2)<\/strong> Wisconsin<\/strong><\/p>\n Since losing their opening game against LSU the Badgers have had little trouble dispatching mediocre to bad opponents. This is their first road game since the opener and they are catching the Wildcats with some momentum. The Badgers are doing what they do in terms of dominating on the ground and playing good defense.<\/p>\n In fact Heisman candidate Melvin Gordon has more yards rushing than starting QB Tanner McEvoy has through the air through 4 games.<\/p>\n The Badgers game plan for this one will be simple. Last year they ran all over Northwestern with Gordon and departed James White both gaining more than 100 yards on the ground. At the same time they completely stymied the NW attack doubling them up in yardage for the game. The formula is proven and successful and odds are it is enough to get the win on Saturday.<\/p>\n Northwestern<\/strong><\/p>\n Things were looking pretty bleak for the Wildcats early. They dropped their first two games of the season at home as touchdown favourites. \u00a0That was followed by an unimpressive win over Western Illinois but last week they went to Happy Valley and won at Penn State, as 10.5 point dogs.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=66501&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n The final score looked more dominant than the numbers but they held PSU to just a couple of field goals and their uber prospect Christian Hackenberg was all out of sorts.<\/p>\n The problem for Northwestern is that all that success from last week might not translate well to this week – Penn State is a completely different animal compared to Wisconsin (literally). To have any hope of winning the Wildcats have to be able to stop the Badgers ground game.<\/p>\n The last time they beat Wisconsin was in 2009 when they held them to just 99 yards rushing.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t think this team is capable of that.<\/p>\n NCAA Football Handicapping Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n Momentum is great but I think the Wildcats are running into a Wisconsin team that is finally hitting its stride. \u00a0There is better value at -7 but -8 is not all that bad.<\/p>\n [dfads params=’groups=63706&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Week 6: Badgers vs Wildcats Picks Week 3 college football betting action sees the Wisconsin Badgers taking on the Northwestern Wildcats on Saturday October 4 at Ryan Field in Evanston, Illinois. \u00a0Cappers Picks provides free college football handicapping tips all season long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":63515,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-85325","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85325","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85325"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85325\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":85346,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85325\/revisions\/85346"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85325"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85325"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85325"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
