Wisconsin has taken some heat for finishing third in the Leaders Division of the Big-10 and playing for the Conference Championship. The Badgers finished league play at 4-4, but because of the fact that both Ohio State and Penn State are on probation, the Badgers earned a spot in this game. They lost to both Penn State and Ohio State and overall are just 7-5 on the season, but are just one win away from going to their third straight Rose Bowl. Don't count on it. The Badgers’ four conference wins came against teams that were 7-25 in conference play, or 3-25 not counting the Wisconsin games. Wiscy also beat a 3-9 UTEP team from C-USA, and a Northern Iowa a team not even in the FBS. It’s needless to say that the Badgers have come up short against everyone else. Nebraska finished at 10-2 and are ranked No. 12 in the country, and are playing their best football of the season right now winning six straight games. This is an explosive offense that has posted 30 or more points in eight games, including a win vs. Wisconsin. They are also 3-0-1 ATS in their last four vs. a winning team. Take the better team: Nebraska. Buy down to -2.5.
