Wisconsin football game-by-game win probabilities updated by ESPN FPI
The Wisconsin Badgers rebounded in a big way on Saturday with their 34-7 rout of Eastern Michigan—taking care of business against a poor opponent and answering questions after Week 1’s tough loss.
All eyes now turn to Jack Coan and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Wisconsin will sit at home this weekend on a bye week while Coan and his team face Purdue.
Then next week? Bags are packed for a trip to Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois.
