The No.6 Wisconsin Badgers (2-0) hope to extend their winning ways when the BYU Cougars (1-1) make their way to Camp Randall for an afternoon matchup on Saturday. Before the game, the BadgerBlitz.com staff assembled to make predictions for UW's third game of the 2018 season.

I think BYU is better now than they were last year - but they still have issues to sort out. They will probably be a tougher out than Western Kentucky or New Mexico, but if Wisconsin's offense can get on track a little earlier in this game I think they will still win by a few scores.

Final Score: Wisconsin 38, BYU 16

Wisconsin has been good - not great - through two game. That said, I think the Badgers will take the next step Saturday against a better BYU team than they faced last year. I don't think UW will hit the 39.5 points per game its averaged so far, but I do see a balanced effort on both sides of the ball and another comfortable victory.

Final Score: Wisconsin 31, BYU 10

Although Wisconsin's early non-coference slate ends on Saturday, I don't expect its winning ways to cease. The Badgers are winners of 20 consecutive regular-season games, with the team's lone loss at the hands of Ohio State on Oct. 22, 2016. However, I do expect this game to be more competitive than last year's, largely because BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum is manning the show on offense. This should put a little more pressure on UW's defense, but it shouldn't be too much of an issue for this roster.

Final Score: Wisconsin 33, BYU 14
