#5 LSU (-8) over Wisconsin, Saturday 3:30 PM (ET), Lambeau Field- Green Bay, Wisconsin

This one won’t be close. LSU is simply too talented on both sides of the ball for this Badgers team to keep up.The Badgers must replace quarterback Joel Stave and find a way to get a once dominant running game back on track.

However, that won’t be possible against a smothering LSU defense who now has the advantage of having former Badgers defensive coordinator Dave Aranda standing on their own sideline now. The main question for LSU is whether Les Miles can open up the offensive enough this season the be a true playoff contender. The Tigers predictability on offense has kept there from becoming a true contender the past few seasons.

However, these issues shouldn’t be a factor against the Badgers as they have no answer for Leonard Fournette. Remember the LSU-Auburn game from last season when Fournette was literally throwing defenders out of his way? Expect a repeat.

Prediction: LSU 38, Wisconsin 6

Next: The Dawgs versus UNC
