Champs Sports Bowl - Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium - Orlando, FL. The Hurricanes get to play in their home state here. The Hurricanes’ program is back on the rise and this will be an important game to get to 10 wins as it goes a long way towards recruiting and they know it. The Badgers had a successful season by the record, going 9-3. But looking over the wins, it is hard to single out a single big win they had all season. Their two biggest games vs. Iowa and Ohio State saw them unable to move the ball, resulting in losses both SU and ATS. They have had no games this season vs. a big passing attack and they will not really be able to react to Jacoby Harris and the Miami offense here. When they faced the only other Big-10 team that passes well, they allowed 30 points. Miami's defense struggled early on allowing 34 to Florida State, 31 to Virginia Tech and 40 to Clemson. But, in their final five games, they allowed an average of 20.6 per game. Mixed in there was 33 to North Carolina, but the defense allowed just 19 in that game. Their defense held opponents to 3.5 yards per carry and 118 rushing yards per game. If Wisconsin can't run, they run into trouble. Under Bret Bielema, the Badgers are just 2-10 ATS vs. teams that allow under 120 rushing yards per game. I like Miami here.
