Wisconsin (5-5, 3-4 Big Ten) faces Nebraska (5-5, 2-5) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. EST, with the game being broadcast on the Big Ten Network.
The current betting odds from BetMGM favor Nebraska by 2.5 points.
Historically, Wisconsin holds the advantage in their matchups, leading the series record 13-4.

This game is crucial for both teams as the winner will secure bowl eligibility.
Wisconsin aims to keep its impressive streak of bowl appearances intact, seeking its 22nd consecutive postseason invitation, which is the third-longest streak in the nation.
On the other side, Nebraska, which started the season strong at 5-1, has hit a slump, losing four games in a row, and is looking to reach a bowl for the first time since 2016, marking the longest drought among the Power Five conferences.
The Badgers have triumphed over Nebraska to clinch bowl eligibility in both of the previous two seasons, making this encounter particularly significant.

The key matchup to watch will be between Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola and the Wisconsin pass defense.
Raiola, in just his second game with new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, is searching for a revival after a tough stretch against Big Ten competition.
Throughout his last six games, the freshman has managed only three touchdown passes while tossing eight interceptions.
Wisconsin boasts one of the top pass defenses in the conference, having surrendered only three touchdown passes over their last six outings.

For Wisconsin, quarterback Braedyn Locke is another player to keep an eye on.
In a similar predicament as Raiola, Locke will be adapting to a new offensive coordinator following the recent dismissal of Phil Longo.
The Badgers’ offense has struggled significantly, accumulating only 33 points during their ongoing three-game losing streak.
Locke’s completion rate sits at 49.4%, with two touchdown passes and four interceptions on 99 attempts.

On the Nebraska roster, defensive end Ty Robinson emerges as a critical player, especially as he approaches his final home game as a sixth-year senior.
Robinson will need to excel against a Wisconsin offensive line that has performed well, permitting just 11 sacks this season.
A major disruptor on the field, he boasts impressive statistics, including ten tackles for loss and six sacks.

In terms of additional stats, it’s worth noting that Wisconsin has enjoyed recent dominance over Nebraska, winning the last ten meetings and all nine contests since the introduction of the Freedom Trophy in 2014.
The Badgers have also posted an 11-1 record against Nebraska since the latter joined the Big Ten in 2011.
Nebraska, under second-year head coach Matt Rhule, has historically struggled when aiming for that all-important sixth win to secure bowl eligibility, recording an 0-8 mark in such scenarios.
Furthermore, Wisconsin’s defense has proven formidable, allowing only two plays from scrimmage to exceed 40 yards, tying them with Ohio State for the fewest in the country.
One standout player on the Badgers’ roster, Tawee Walker, is averaging nearly 97.3 rushing yards per game across his six starts in the Big Ten.
