Badgers vs Notre Dame: Crawford's Prediction

On April 1st Wisconsin Badgers football, kicks off the season at Lambo Field against Notre Dame on September 6th.

CBS Sports analyst Brad Crawford dropped a way too early prediction, and his brutal, Badgers lose 41-10.

Luke fickle to go over his head coach, but the team sitting at 17 wins and 21 losses since he arrived from Cincinnati.

That's back-to-back losing seasons, putting pressure on him from the top.

Notre Dame's been opening on the road for six straight years, but Crawford figures they'll roll through most games this year.

A playoff contender like them could turn this into a route right out the gate.

Badgers fans aren't buying it yet. They got a fresh quarterback and closed last season with two ranked victories.

The vibes shifting, even if doubters are loud, plenty of time before kickoff to flip the script and silence the noise.

Badgers got the tools to surprise.
