The Wisconsin Badgers seemingly don't have much of a test this week as they play at the Purdue Boilermakers.
And, much like last week vs. Illinois, the predictors of this Saturday's game are soundly in Wisconsin's corner.
The decision on who will win should, in theory, pick up after this week, but until then, well, it is interesting to see the predictions on how many points people think the Badgers will score -- and allow.
Here are this week's predictions from around the web and Twitter:
The Associated Press' Ralph D. Russo: Wisconsin 35, Purdue 13.
Both Big Ten Network analysts pick Wisconsin to win. Tom Dienhart sees it Wisconsin 60, Purdue 13 while Brent Yarina has it Wisconsin 52, Purdue 3.
Jeff Bartl of Campus Insiders: Wisconsin 31, Purdue 3. "Blough gives the Badgers short fields with interceptions twice in the first half before throwing another pick early in the third, and Wisconsin runs away with an easy win."
Pete Fiutak of Collegefootballnews.com: Wisconsin 41, Purdue 16. "The Purdue offense has been just explosive enough at times to be dangerous, with Blough throwing for 300 yards or more three times in the last five games, hitting Iowa hard for 458 yards and five touchdowns, and throwing four touchdown passes against Minnesota. Wisconsin’s defense is too good to let that happen, but the secondary hasn’t been pressed too hard lately. At home, in the regular season finale, there’s a chance the Boilermakers could battle hard, but they’re just never going to have the ball. Wisconsin will keep this ultra-conservative. It’s the No. 1 team in the nation in time of possession, and that’s not going to dip after this week."
The Whatifsports.com simulation has an average score of Wisconsin 29.3, Purdue 21.9 with the Badgers winning 77.2 percent of the time.
All four Athlon Sports analysts have Wisconsin winning.
The Oklahoman's Berry Tramel: Wisconsin 26, Purdue 8.
Kevin McGuire of Athlon Sports: Wisconsin 38, Purdue 13. "The Badgers could probably name their score in this one, especially if they are looking to come up with some style points for the selection committee. Or Wisconsin could take it relatively easy and just stick to the ground to run the clock as much as needed to get out of West Lafayette with a win."
All seven CBSSports.com analysts are picking Wisconsin to win but only two think the Badgers will cover a 26.5-point spread.
Brian Pedersen of Bleacher Report: Wisconsin 35, Purdue 14. "Wisconsin keeps hanging around on the fringe of the playoff discussion, and its shot at getting in will increase with a Big Ten title. The first point of order is locking up the West Division, which probably won't happen this week. Purdue looks done with the season, losing five straight and giving up 151 points the last three games. The Badgers' run game will eat."
Sean Martin of the Albany Times-Union: Wisconsin 33, Purdue 7.
All seven analysts at USAToday.com pick Wisconsin to win.
Bill Connelly of SB Nation: His S&P+ projection has it Wisconsin 42.1, Purdue 9.8, giving the Badgers a 96.9 percent chance of winning.
Josh Liskiewitz of Pro Football Focus: Wisconsin 43, Purdue 9.
All five of the ESPN.com Big Ten contributors picked Wisconsin to win.
All five writers at MLive.com think Wisconsin will win.
