How to watch Northwestern vs. Wisconsin: TV channel, live online streaming, start time, radio, betting line

The big day is here. Northwestern is in Madison to take on the Wisconsin Badgers in a game that will not only be huge for bowl game purposes, but could go a long way to determining how Northwestern's season is viewed in retrospect. If the Wildcats win, they're a legitimate 9-2, and a win over Illinois away from being a legitimate 10-2. But if they lose, they're a fluky 8-3, with only one big win, and with an inordinately good record in close games.

If you're not in Madison, where it snowed through the night and into Saturday morning, below is broadcast information for Saturday's game.
