The Wisconsin Badgers are in Los Angeles, California, for what is one of the biggest games of the Luke Fickell era.
UCLA knows its down its starting quarterback, and this is a Bruins team that is well aware of what UW did at Penn State.
After picking up that signature win a few weeks ago, the Badgers crushed Michigan State in Madison and then were able to enjoy a week off.
Now, they have the No. 12 Bruins to deal with, and a win here could knock UCLA out of the College Football Playoff conversation.

Wisconsin vs. UCLA prediction
This prediction boils down to a personal preference: whether you like the spread or the money
line better. Wisconsin's money line is quite tempting since they're the underdogs, and it would allow something like a 17-16 victory to pay out. The Badgers aren't super sizeable underdogs in this one, and avoiding the over-under feels like the move with UCLA's quarterback situation up in the air.
Best Bet: Wisconsin +115
