Last week Wisconsin had a lot to prove in their season opener against Penn State. Penn State is one of the great name brands of college football. Both Penn State and Wisconsin are perennial Big Ten and national contenders. With a lot to prove and the pressure on full blast, Wisconsin flopped. To illuminate, Wisconsin beat Wisconsin with confounding mistakes in the red zone. Penn State played well enough to capitalize. Badger fans and College Football betting gamblers are furious with the sloppy play. Especially guilty was highly touted five-star quarterback Graham Mertz in the giveaway loss.

Eastern Michigan Eagles Team Overview
Eastern Michigan is coming off a 35-15 home win over St. Francis-PA as 34.5-point favorites. Also, the game went under the total of 55.5. Although Eastern Michigan is one of the toughest jobs in college football, they earned three bowl trips over the last five seasons. Coach Chris Creighton needs his defense to show marked improvement to contend in the MAC West Division. However, the offense should be good enough for the program to reach at least six wins.
Wisconsin Badgers Team Overview
Last week the Badgers gave away a 16-10 home loss to Penn State as 5.5-point favorites. As a result, UW’s 25-game winning streak in home openers ended. Wisconsin’s five-star quarterback Graham Mertz was intercepted twice in the final two and a half minutes. Of great concern was that the Badgers were deep into Nittany Lions territory both times.
Overall, Mertz finished 22 of 37 for 185 yards and fumbled twice more in the red zone. Penn State withstood a quality performance from Chez Mellusi. A Clemson transfer, Mellusi rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown in his Wisconsin debut.
