Wisconsin favored by 7

[LoungeLord]

Rosier misses this all game and it doesn't matter what else we do.

 

[AUcane]

If I recall correctly the line movement in our games especially the last month has played out pretty accurately. In other words, not looking good.

 

[GymCane]

Stop the run and some how have some success running the football. Does this D have any physicality left? In the Clemson game we were slow to get up from almost every collision on the field. Bad match up for a team that doesn't want to consistently hit and tackle.

having almost a month off should do this team some good after playing 12 straight weeks, i expect to see a rejuvenated squad ready to hit.

 

[Nixed]

we got a good shot. depends on which Rosier shows up.

hopefully manny diaz doesn't make us play an entire half of this soft *** zone **** that teams have CONSISTENTLY exploited this season...

It's the direction of the line movement, not necessarily the number that will give us a good indication of what to expect. FWIW, I'd feel much better about a +7 point opening underdog that closes +5 to outright win the game than a +2 point opening underdog that closes +4.

 

[westcoastcanes]

Going to be the worlds most boring game to someone outside one of these two fanbases.

I expect one of the defenses to score, then both teams to kick a couple field goals and thats about it.

 

[Texxcane]

Lol this will be ND pt. 2.

Exactly what I was thinking. And I'm pessimistic as ****. I normally don't think this way after a loss like last night.

Richt's record in bowl games is legit. We need some rest as well. We'll come out and dominate at home like ND. Maybe not THAT bad but I see a 10-14 point win.

Correct you are, very legit, with the chances of a title in the toilet Richt is lights out, we roll

 

[CANEMC]

Why wouldn't they be favored? We have played like **** recently.

 

[Poptimus]

The consensus opening line is +6.5, which is also the line at the outs where the line matters most.

Will be very interesting to let it marinate and see what the closing line is nearly a month from now. Spoiler alert: it ain't going to be +6.5.

Where are you leaning, Pop?

I don't bet games unless I see some market confirmation about my opinion first. If I like a team, but the line is moving away from me, I'll pass. There are a few +7's out there are less than reputable outs and no +6's, which leads me to believe that the line will more than likely go to +7 than +6. If you like Miami, I'd wait. I don't think we're going to see any unexpected injury news and I just don't see sharps rushing to bet our team after the last two games. We saw the line movement go away from us the last 3 games and there was absolutely nothing shown against Clemson to make me think that trend reverses. Probably closes Wisconsin -8 IMO. Not what guys are going to want to hear, but that's what i expect.

They could also pick up on Miami being undefeated at home and their best 2 home games were against the 2 highest rated teams they played at home.

Lol this will be ND pt. 2.

This would be a great game to bet.You shut down there running game and there goes
there offense.Lost most of their receivers,injury or suspended.Home game,screaming Cane
fans,take the U+7.

 

[Ivan The Terrible]

Badgers are my #2 team behind the Canes, so I've seen some games this year. Running game is elite, QB is trash (more accurate than Rosier but weak arm and no threat to run), and their biggest receiving weapon is the TE. Defense has good stats but, as we saw last night, they don't have much experience facing the speed we'll have. Of course we'll have to play well in all facets to win, but I like our chances against Wisconsin vastly more than against Bama, for example.

That elite rushing attach put up 60 yards last night. I am significantly more concerned about our offense going up against there defense.

The DB’s are slow and Malik will hit some open receivers. 31-24 Canes!!!!!!!

How many Wisconsin games have you watched this year Ivan? Are you assuming that the DB's are slow because they play on a BIG 10 team?

I saw parts of three Wisconsin games this year. No I don’t mean just because they are in the Big 10, but they are not top notch DB’s. Ohio State scored a few TD’s and the receivers pulled away from the DB’s like nothing. Maybe I’m just being optimistic or maybe I’m just full of ****.

 

[3FW]

A game we really have to win. Almost all momentum lost with 3 season-ending losses. Win and season was a big success and momentum is real. Start next year at the back of the top 10.

Agreed.

Would be a big boost heading into NSD and the 2018 season.

 

[CGCANE]

Miami is going to be TAKIN' THAT *** (no Bruno) at the Orange Bowl.

 

[No_Fly_Zone]

Crown up! Hit stick... and you know the rest.

 

[SmokeyRone]

As slow as they are, and their QB seems awful, they had two possessions to win the game vs a far more talented OSU* team.
