Wisconsin Badgers vs Lehigh Mountain Hawks: Prediction

The Badgers are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven games overall. They are only dealing with one injury concern at the moment. Jahcobi Heath is out indefinitely with a lower body injury.

There have been no recent meetings between the two teams but the home team is clearly superior at the moment. Their defense will be too strong for the Mountain Hawks to get through.

The Badgers are a team from a better conference and have the home advantage with them. Expect them to be able to handle the Mountain Hawks without much of a difficulty.

Final Prediction: Badgers -23 (-110)
