Wisconsin is entering this game with a 2-0 record overall and they have a 0-0 record in their conference games too. They are 2-0 in their home games, 0-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game. They won their last game against South Dakota 27-13. Tyler Van Dyke was the starting QB and he completed 17/27 passes for 214 passing yards, 1 touchdown, and 0 interceptions.

The current betting odds have Alabama listed as a 15.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Alabama has looked good in their games this season with their 2-0 record. Both of their games were at home so this will be their 1st road game of the season, but they have looked really good in 2 games of DeBoer taking over for Nick Saban. The defense has given up 16 points in 2 games and the offense has put up over 40 points in each. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is 2-0 this season but they haven't looked great in their 2 games. They struggled to pull away from Western Michigan in their 1st game of the season and they weren't any better last week, winning 27-13 at home against a team from the FCS. Their defense hasn't been terrible but they have been giving up too many points against weaker offenses and that will be a big problem against a ranked team from the SEC. Alabama has been rolling with their offense and their defense this season, and now they are playing with something to prove after Saban retired. Alabama isn't going to take their foot off the gas in this 1st road game of the season and Wisconsin won't have the offense to keep this one close. The best way to place a bet here is on Alabama to cover the spread in this game.
