Despite being double-digit underdogs a week ago, the Wisconsin Badgers were able to put together an impressive victory at Penn State.
Here in Week 5, the Badgers know they could be on the wrong end of an upset.
That's not to say Michigan State is going to come to Madison and take down UW without star running back Cam Edwards, but crazier things have happened.
With kickoff just hours away, here at the updated betting lines.
Wisconsin Badgers vs. Michigan State Spartans betting odds

Wisconsin vs. Michigan State prediction
Wisconsin took down Western Illinois by 27 points, and then overcame a slow start against Eastern Michigan and beat them by 44. In no way is Michigan State
on the same level as those two teams, but this is yet another home game for the Badgers, and they just put together an unbelievable win against PSU, so there's no reason not to believe they can't beat the Spartans by double digits.
Best Bet: Wisconsin -9.5 (-120)
