In a year when numerous power programs are firing big-name coaches, the Wisconsin Badgers remain unchanged. The decision made by athletic director Chris McIntosh to fire Paul Chryst, a proven winner, during the 2022 season has proven to be disastrous. Chryst was a UW QB, former assistant, and alum who knew the culture and its unique recipe for success. Instead, McIntosh hired an outsider, Luke Fickell, who beat the College Football lines in big ways at Cincinnati. Fickell has proven to be a horrible fit. But nobody wants to write the giant checks to make McIntosh and Fickell disappear.

Washington at Wisconsin Betting Odds Analysis
In particular, Washington will draw massive betting activity for a game that gamblers see as a mismatch. Gamblers see the Badgers as overmatched against a quality Washington program. The only concern is the price, which will be expensive for the Huskies.
But not many gamblers have faith in Wisconsin’s ability to score. Wisconsin has turned off the gambling community. Athletic director and alum Chris McIntosh, who played for the legendary Godfather of the program, Barry Alvarez, should have known better than to change the formula of success radically. Yet he did.

In this situation, Washington brings momentum and confidence to Camp Randall Stadium. Wisconsin has destroyed its identity and culture and is unrecognizable from its successful past. Of great concern is the public perception of this matchup with the CFB odds.
Squares want nothing to do with a failed Wisconsin program. Especially when going up against a name brand program, the Badgers are a difficult sell. Oddsmakers will sweeten the Badgers’ odds to even out the wagering action.
To conclude, the putrid Wisconsin offense will struggle to keep the Badgers in the game.
