Washington Huskies vs Wisconsin Badgers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/08/25

The Wisconsin Badgers will have the opportunity to host the 23rd-ranked Washington Huskies this Saturday afternoon. The Badgers have gone through a brutal last 3 games on their schedule, a losing run that includes defeats of 37-0 against Iowa, 34-0 against Ohio State, and 21-7 against Oregon. The only touchdown the Badgers scored in those 3 games was their last game when quarterback Hunter Simmons threw a touchdown to receiver Lance Mason in the 4th quarter. Overall, Wisconsin’s offense ranks 135th in the FBS with an average of only 262 yards per game.

Washington is trending in the opposite direction. After a 42-25 win against Illinois last week, Washington finds itself ranked this week. Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. had arguably his best game of the season against Illinois. He was 26 of 33 for 280 yards passing and 4 touchdowns. Washington also relied on some trickery. Receiver Denzel Boston threw a 12 yard touchdown in this game, in addition to leading the Huskies in receiving with 10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown.

Wisconsin’s head coach Luke Fickell’s seat continues to heat each week that his team fails to perform. However, it’s worth mentioning that the Badgers have played the top 3 defenses in the Big Ten in consecutive order, which may explain why they only have 7 points to show for it. Finally, the Badgers will play a defense that isn’t a top-ranked unit.

The Huskies have a formidable defense, ranked 10th in the Big Ten in yards allowed per game, but it is their explosive offense that is the team’s bread-and-butter. Williams Jr. is playing great right now and we know he will put up big points, but I believe the Wisconsin offense will also wake up and show some life in this game. The Badgers can finally take a breath after a tough stretch of games, they had an extra week to prepare coming off the bye, and they will play this game on their home field. Coach Fickell knows his spot as head coach could depend on the outcome of this game, and he knows he needs to put some points on the scoreboard. Not much has gone right for the Badgers this season, but I believe we will see enough life out of Wisconsin to push this game over.

Washington vs Wisconsin prediction: Over 44.5 (-110) is available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
