Despite a bad start Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst got a raise and extension last week. Since taking over his alma mater in 2015, Chryst has been quite good. Wisconsin won three Big Ten West Division titles under his command. But against college football’s best, the Badgers have not fared well. Of major College football betting concern is that those results are getting worse. To many, it seems as if Chryst isn’t keeping up with America’s top programs. Wisconsin did stop the bleeding at Illinois on Saturday. This week Wisky has a tricky home game against the Army triple option.
