Former Hawkeye, Badger players give predictions on Iowa-Wisconsin matchup
Iowa is hosting No. 18 Wisconsin Saturday night.
It’s going to be a brawl.
The Hawkeyes, who have the most votes of any team outside the top 25, will kick off against the Badgers at 8:30 p.m. The game will be televised on FOX and tickets are in high demand.
Both teams, of course, are represented well in the NFL. The Green Bay Packers are just one of the teams that have former Hawkeyes and Badgers on its team.
Former Iowa cornerback Josh Jackson and former Wisconsin tight end Lance Kendricks gave their predictions to the game.
Hint: Both predicted the obvious.
#Packers CB Josh Jackson, an Iowa alum, said he expects the Hawkeyes to win by 15 on Saturday.
TE Lance Kendricks, now the lone former UW player in the GB locker room, said he has Wisconsin escaping with a close victory.

Jackson predicts a 15-point win for the Hawkeyes is coming, which would be quite the statement from Kirk Ferentz’s team. And for Kendricks, he went with the Badgers winning a close one. That may be a bit more realistic.
Vegas sees Wisconsin winning by 3 points.
