It appears that the Wisconsin bandwagon is getting full. This line has slowly crept upward since the opener, and I believe there is now value on the other side. Nebraska remains unbeaten, and this will truly be their toughest test. Sometimes handicappers and the public will look at the difficult schedule that one team has played, in this case Wisconsin, and the rather pedestrian schedule another teams has played, in this case, Nebraska, and make the assumption that Wisconsin is the better team. Just because an unbeaten team hasn't played "up" so to speak, doesn't mean they can't, and I've never seen an unbeaten team that doesn't come to play with an edge when trying to remain unbeaten. Wisconsin has been very good defensively and just marginal on defense while Nebraska has a strong passing attack. Don't underestimate the Nebraska defense, especially vs. a soft Wisconsin offense, as the Cornhuskers have held five opponents to 17 or fewer points. This is too many points for a team that doesn't score a lot, so go the other way and make the play on Nebraska.
