Wisconsin Badgers at Ohio State Buckeyes Prediction
Neither one of these teams is playing their best basketball. Wisconsin has lost two of their last three games and has been killing their backers' bankrolls going 1-4 ATS in their last four. Ohio State has been on the losing side in three straight but two of those games came on the road and their latest at home wasn't all that bad falling by one point to Nebraska. The Badgers shot an amazing 54.5% from behind the arc going 12 of 22! A repeat of anything near that gets them the cover, but the metrics point out that the probability of that happening is very slim.
