Wisconsin Badgers vs Minnesota Golden Gophers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/29/25

The Wisconsin Badgers and Minnesota Golden Gophers are set to battle for one of college football’s most iconic trophies: Paul Bunyan’s Axe. Wisconsin has covered the spread in 4 straight games, while Minnesota has been one of the least profitable teams in 2025 with a 3-7-1 mark ATS. With a total set under 40, don’t expect fireworks in this matchup. Neither offense has posted quality numbers throughout the 2025 campaign, but the Badgers’ defense provides a tough challenge for the Gophers.

Wisconsin ranks top-40 in both EPA/rush and EPA/dropback defensively and just held a quality Illinois squad to 10 points of offense last time out. Minnesota has an incredibly slow-paced offense – ranking 115th in plays per second – and has shown no signs of explosiveness, ranking 129th in FBS with only 32 plays going 20+ yards this season. While neither team has much to play for aside from bragging rights, I’ve got the Wisconsin defense carrying the Badgers to a rivalry win.
