The Wisconsin Badgers have opened as massive favorites for their upcoming game against Rutgers, even though they are coming off a loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes on October 31, 2026. The defeat came at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, where Iowa running back L.J. Phillips Jr. gained significant yardage against the Badgers' defense, which includes linebacker Cooper Catalano.
Despite the setback, oddsmakers still view Wisconsin as the clear favorite against Rutgers, reflecting confidence in the Badgers' overall season performance. The Big Ten matchup is scheduled for the coming weekend.
