The Badgers must play road games at Michigan State, Iowa and Michigan while hosting conference favorite Ohio State. Ohio State and Iowa are the Big Ten favorites and Michigan State is a solid team as well. Even Michigan could be improved and is always tough at home. Wisconsin has not been a profitable team since that 12-1 season in Bielema's rookie year and went 6-6 against the spread last year. The defense has allowed more than 20 points per game for the past 3 seasons and Bielema is a former defensive coordinator, which has been something of a disappointment. The offense averaged over 31 points per game, however, and may be even better for 2010.
