Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Wisconsin Badgers
The #8 ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers are all set to square off against the #7 ranked Wisconsin Badgers as both programs meet for the first time in Big 10 action under ABC’s Saturday night college football backdrop; kick-off from Camp Randall Stadium is set for 8:00 ET.
This is it - The game Big Red nation has been waiting for! This primetime match-up with the Wisconsin Badgers will mark the very first time that Nebraska will have faced a Big 10 opponent as a member of the conference. Coach Bo Pelini’s squad enters this tussle a perfect 4-0 SU on the year, but the only pointspread victory achieved came just last week when the Blackshirts marched into Laramie, WY and came away with the 38-14 road win and cover (-21). The ATS triumph moved the Cornhuskers to 8-2 SU but just 3-7 ATS their L/10 when favored, but they invade Madison as the underdog; a role they’ve covered in each of the L/4 times with the most recent cover coming in the Big 12 Championship Game against Oklahoma. Nebraska’s 6-2 ATS its L/8 away from Lincoln, but just 2-5 ATS its L/7 when playing off a SU win.
Then there’s the Wisconsin Badgers who enter this contest also a perfect 4-0 SU on the year after simply tearing apart their opponents leading up to this game. Wiscy throttled UNLV, Oregon State, Northern Illinois and South Dakota by a combined score of 194-34 and easily covered each game depending upon where you bought into the market in Week 1. Last week’s match-up was a primer for this one as head coach Brett Bielema already started talking about just how excited he and his team was for this game minutes after making a mockery of their game against the Huskies back on September 17th. Led by new QB Russell Wilson, the Badgers balanced attack through the air and on the ground has the Badgers offense ranked 8th in total yardage (532.2 YPG) and 6th in points scored (48.5 PPG). Wiscy’s in the midst of a 10-0-1 ATS run dating back to last season, but stands just 4-8 SU against ranked opponents in the regular season under the current coaching regime.
These programs last met over three and a half decades ago with the Badgers scoring a 21-20 outright win in Madison. Nebraska has represented well on the road against top notch competition by going 10-3 ATS its L/13 against +.500 opposition. The ‘under’ has cashed in each of their L/5 played as dogs. Wisconsin is 7-0-1 ATS its L/8 played in front of its frenzied hometown faithful, but just 5-3 SU & 4-4 ATS its L/8 games played in October. The ‘over’ is 9-4-1 in the Badgers L/14 games played.
PICK: WISC/NEBRASKA OVER
