The second year of the Luke Fickell era at Wisconsin begins under the spotlight Friday night.

The Wisconsin Badgers open the 2024 season on Friday night against Western Michigan. It’s the Badgers’ first Friday opener since 2020.

Fickell hopes to improve on his 7-6 season in 2023 but faces a challenge in the revamped, expanded Big Ten Conference. The Badgers’ schedule includes No. 3 Oregon, No. 5 Alabama, No. 8 Penn State, No. 23 USC and No. 25 Iowa.

The good news is that all three games against top 10 teams will be played in Madison and Wisconsin won’t face No. 2 Ohio State or No. 9 Michigan in the regular season.

The Badgers will be looking for a spark from their new starting quarterback, Miami transfer Tyler Van Dyke, who ranks fourth in total passing yards among returning college quarterbacks over the past three seasons.

Wisconsin vs. Western Michigan Predictions, Picks, and Odds

Odds courtesy of Bet MGM starting Friday, August 30

  • Wisconsin 40, Western Michigan 14: The tension of a night game and the firepower of the Badgers on offense will prove too much for a Broncos team that could surprise a number of teams in the Mid-American Conference. — Mark Stewart
  • Wisconsin 30, Western Michigan 10: It will be a healthy win, but I can’t predict it will be an outright win until we see a team that is absolutely better than the 2023 roster. — JR Radcliffe
  • Chances: Wisconsin with 23½
  • About/You: 56½
