Wisconsin (-6.5)  25   Notre Dame  18

Notre Dame was overrated heading into the season (I had them at #20 in my ratings) and the Irish have played lower than my expectations so far. Their overtime win against Florida State doesn’t look every good given how bad the Seminoles have been since then and having just a 6.0 yards per play to 5.3 yppl advantage over a mediocre schedule of opponents is not impressive.

Wisconsin has played just two games and they’ve been worse than expected as well – although they did rebound from their 10-16 home loss to Penn State with a decisive 34-7 win over Eastern Michigan that was more dominating than the final score (the stats would project a 37 point win).

Wisconsin should be able to run the ball against what has been a soft Notre Dame run defense so far (5.8 yards per rushing play allowed) and Wisconsin’s top-tier defense should limit an Irish attack that’s been underwhelming thus far with just 6.0 yppl against teams that would allow 5.6 yppl to an average offensive team.

My ratings favor Wisky by 6.9 points and 43.1 total points.
