The ESPN “College GameDay” staff all listed their pick to win Saturday’s primetime showdown between the Wisconsin Badgers (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) and rival Iowa Hawkeyes (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten).
The extended panel for the Week 10 edition of the show included Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, former Alabama head coach Nick Saban, Pat McAfee, Desmond Howard and guest picker comedian Keegan-Michael Key.
Every panelist except one chose the Hawkeyes to prevail. Saban was the only one to pick Wisconsin, citing the Badgers’ better form over the last month.
Big factors in the rivalry matchup include a tough Kinnick Stadium atmosphere, Iowa’s new quarterback, Wisconsin’s offensive line play and a battle between two of the top running backs in the conference.
Iowa has won two straight in the series and three of the last four. The Badgers and Hawkeyes will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET, 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on NBC and available via stream on Peacock.
