Luke Fickell might not be long for the Badgers if their continued subpar play continues. Wisconsin finished with a 2-7 record in Big Ten conference play last year, and suffered a 41-13 defeat against Notre Dame at Lambeau Field.
While the Badgers did turn things around last week in a 36-9 victory over Western Illinois, Fickell and his coaching staff are likely going to be looked at very closely in the coming weeks to see if measurable signs of improvement take place.
If you are looking for some betting advice for the matchup, we've got you covered. Here are the latest odds for the game, courtesy of BetMGM.

Eastern Michigan vs. Wisconsin prediction, pick:
Fortunately for the Badgers, the Eagles don't have the look of a team that can put together 60 minutes of quality
football in order to spring an upset. Eastern Michigan has dropped two straight after a Week 0 victory, and looked particularly overmatched against Michigan State last week.
It's going to be interesting to see how Fickell and the team handle quarterback Colton Joseph in a game they are expected to win going away. Joseph has battledthrough injuries that he suffered against the Fighting Irish, so it wouldn't be surprising if this was an Abu Sama III and Bryan Jackson game on the ground.
Expect the Badgers to bleed the clock with long possessions and ultimately come away with a victory.
Prediction: Wisconsin 30, Eastern Michigan 3
Best Bet: Under 45.5
