The No. 12 Wisconsin Badgers (9-2) will come into their Week 14 rivalry game against the No. 8 Minnesota Golden Gophers (10-1) as a 2.5-point favorite, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.<\/p>\n

Minnesota will look to win Paul Bunyan\u2019s Axe for a second consecutive year when it takes on Wisconsin this Saturday. (Image: Jeff Hanisch\/USA Today Sports)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The game is critical for both sides: not only are they playing for Paul Bunyan\u2019s Axe, but the winner will move on to play Ohio State in the Big Ten championship game next weekend.<\/p>\n

Minnesota Seeks First Division Title in School History<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wisconsin and Minnesota have played 128 times in their history, and are remarkably tied 60-60-8 all-time. But in recent years, the Badgers have been dominant over their border rivals, winning the Axe 14 times in a row before the Gophers finally broke through last season with a 37-15 win.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s matchup has further intensified in importance, especially for Minnesota. The Golden Gophers have won seven conference games for the first time in program history, and have the chance to win their first Big Ten West title ever. That means that Minnesota has rarely been tested like they will on Saturday, but head coach PJ Fleck thinks his squad is ready for the challenge.<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t had that moment in a long time here,\u201d<\/strong> Fleck told reporters. \u201cBut that doesn\u2019t mean they aren\u2019t ready for that moment.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wisconsin has battled back from an early loss against Illinois, and managed to get back into the divisional race when Minnesota suffered its only loss of the year at Iowa two weeks ago.<\/a> While the Badgers acknowledge that Minnesota is having a special year, they still believe they can pose new challenges for the Golden Gophers defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve come ready and have performed very well against the teams we\u2019ve seen,\u201d Wisconsin center Tyler Biadasz told The Daily Cardinal<\/em>. \u201cWe have to attack them. I don\u2019t think they\u2019ve been tested like we can test them. We\u2019ll be ready for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rivalry Games Dominate Week 14 Slate<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Another rivalry game<\/a> will be taking place in the Big 12, where No. 7 Oklahoma (10-1) will visit No. 21 Oklahoma State (8-3) in the latest edition of the Bedlam series. Oklahoma comes in as a 13-point favorite, but the Sooners will have to be on guard, as the Cowboys would like nothing more than to derail Oklahoma\u2019s remaining chances at reaching the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n

They have a really good scheme and they play well,\u201d Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts told reporters of the Cowboys\u2019 defense, which has forced 10 turnovers over the past four weeks. \u201cThey have really good players. They get to the ball fast and they play the ball well.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also on the menu for Saturday is a clash between Texas A&M (7-4) and No. 2 LSU (11-0). The Tigers are a clear and obvious 17-point favorite at home, but the Aggies have always been able to test \u2013 if not beat \u2013 the top teams in the SEC. So this is a game that LSU can\u2019t look past on its way to next weekend\u2019s conference title game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
