In Saturday night college football action, the Oregon Ducks will travel to Camp Randall Stadium to take on the Wisconsin Badgers. Make sure you are ready for all the football action with our college football picks. The top-ranked Ducks (10-0) rank second in the Big Ten Conference in total offense and are averaging 35.3 points per game. On Saturday, Oregon forced three turnovers including a 62-yard fumble return touchdown during a 39-18 home victory versus Maryland. 

Heisman Trophy candidate QB Dillon Gabriel became the FBS all-time leader in touchdowns on a three-yard pass to offensive lineman Genorris Wilson. Terrance Ferguson and Evan Stewart also caught touchdown passes for the Ducks, who limited the Terrapins to 289 total yards. 

The Wisconsin Badgers have split their first six Big Ten Conference games and need one more victory to become bowl eligible. The Badgers (5-4) lost QB Tyler Van Dyke in September to an ACL injury and are scoring 25.1 points per game. Last time out, Wisconsin was unable to contain Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson (3 TD) during an ugly 42-10 road loss against Iowa. 

Wisconsin jumped on the scoreboard first on a Nathaniel Vakos 38-yard field goal midway through the first quarter. C.J. Williams caught a 14-yard touchdown to cut Iowa’s lead to 28-10 early in the fourth quarter. The Badgers were outgained 422-261 and turned the ball over twice. 

Oregon defeating Wisconsin 28-27 in the 2020 Rose Bowl. Oregon played without star WR Tez Johnson (shoulder) during last week’s victory and it is unlikely that he will return for this game. Look for the defenses to have the edge in a game that stays under the total. Final Score Prediction, Oregon Ducks win 30-17.
