Game Time/TV: 4:30 pm PST on NBC

Weather: 45 degrees at kickoff and partly cloudy in Wisconsin, FYI: Eugene will be 45 and heavy rain at the same kickoff time. 

Odds: Ducks -13.5, Point total 51.5

Ducks Injuries: Tez and Marcus Harper will be out for sure along with all the Ducks players already out. DL is saying Jordan Burch and Jordan James might play. Of course DL never tells anything and practices have been closed to the media this week. We might not know until later. I'll update things when the official injury report comes out. 

Wisconsin Analysis: Their defense is the strength of the team as they hold opponents to 21 points per game and are bosting the 6th best pass defense. However, Wisconsin's rush defense is second worst in the  Big Ten and 92nd in the country. They give up 165 yards per game.

While Wisconsin is coming off of back to back losses against Iowa and Penn State, they are also coming off a bye week. Their home field environment has been compared to Eugene with the cheering and electricity from the fans. I think the spread would be a lot different if this was in Eugene. 

Wisconsin in known to play smart. However, the Ducks have the speed advantage and should be able to beat them on the outside. A big question is Jordan James healthy? Whether they need to rely on the run game more or not it would be really advantages to open up the passing game. DG and the WRs seemed just a little off last week, which makes you wonder how much he's missing Tez or simply had an off week. 

That's all for now, looking forward to this game. Go Ducks!
