Some believed going into the season that Middle Tennessee could be in the mix to compete for a Conference USA title.
But the 2025 season didn’t start in the Blue Raiders’ favor. They ended up losing 34-14 to in-state opponent Austin Peay.
MTSU will try to bounce back in Week 2, but it won’t be easy. The Blue Raiders will go on the road to take on a Power Four opponent.

Middle Tennessee vs. Wisconsin Prediction
I predict Wisconsin will win and cover the 28.5-point spread. I also project the game will go Over 45.5 total points.
I still think MTSU could prove to be competitive in CUSA. But I don’t think the Blue Raiders will be competitive in this game.
I believe it’s possible MTSU, led by quarterback Nicholas Vattiato, makes some plays on offense and gets some points on the board. But in the end, I don’t think the Blue Raiders have enough firepower to keep this game interesting.
