The Ohio State Buckeyes and Wisconsin Badgers will meet for the Big Ten Championship in Indianapolis on Saturday night.

The nightcap of conference championship weekend will be between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Wisconsin Badgers. The two sides are battling it out for the Big Ten Championship and what they hope is a spot in the College Football Playoff.

Wisconsin comes into this game with an undefeated record on the year. They know without any big marquee wins on their resume yet, defeating Ohio State and remaining undefeated is their ticket into the dance.

The Buckeyes on the other end have a strong resume, thanks in part because of playing in the Big Ten East. They are seen as the favorite coming into this game despite the health of J.T. Barrett. Even with a win, though, the Buckeyes aren’t guaranteed a spot in the College Football Playoff and would need a lot of help in front of them.

With some impressive defensive personnel on both ends of the ball and a Wisconsin team that struggles with turnovers, it makes sense that Vegas doesn’t see this game as a shootout. However, they expect the Buckeyes to slug this one out and win by a touchdown.
