Play On: Wisconsin +6
Note: After posting a 21-5 SU record in coach Bret Bielema’s first two seasons (12-4 versus Big 10 foes), Wisconsin saw a 3-0 start in 2008 collapse in an ugly 4-game losing skein to open conference play. The Badgers did rally to win 4 of their final 5 outings but closing the season with a 1-point home victory over unheralded Cal Poly did little to repair the numerous chinks in the program’s armor that had been exposed. By contrast, Florida State shook off a recent downward skid to post its first winning year in the ACC since 2005 and the Sems are slowly regaining some of the attitude and swagger that made them such a feared team when they first hooked up with the hapless ACC (Noles once recorded 14 consecutive 10-win seasons). When it comes to ATS credentials, the Badgers are armed to the max. Wisky is a 17 Returning Starter Bowl Dog of 4 or more points (13-6-2 ATS) and the dog in the last 9 Badgers’ Bowl games has cashed 7 times. Wisconsin is also 10-2 ITS this year (6-0 L6G) and Big 10 Bowl dogs are 21-11-1 ATS vs an opponent off a SU loss. In addition, the Badgers rank 14th nationally in rushing offense (212 YPG). The Orlando site will be a major advantage for FSU and a win here would mark Bowden’s first 9-win season in four years. But the Noles are just 3-5 SU in their most recent 8 Bowl games and this year’s offense was a tad too erratic for our liking. The clincher is this powerful winning angle from our database. It tells us to: Play On any college bowl underdog who allowed 30 or more points in its last game it they are off a win provided they average 155 or more Rushing Yards Per Game and have won 17 or fewer of its last 22 games straight-up. That's because these teams are 15-0-2 ATS since 1980.

I think that you guys should be careful on your total play in this game.....i have been looking at the over with this game for a while. All i have been hearing about this game is defense and run game. Usually sounds like under. With the total being 52, that is a number that kind of shouts over....
Im not a fan of FSUs at all. However, Wiscy, from what little Ive seen this year is really bad. The question is how well can the Badgers run the ball? If they are successful at all then they should stay within the line. If not...
FSU has no discipline, a marginal secondary, little depth, a weak and small OL, and not much for coaches. I know little about Wiscy so if you do take it from there.

Weather will be warm. Mid 80's light wind and slight chance of a stray tinkle. It is a beautiful day. Being an alumn of FSU and watching every painful game the last few years and also being from Wisconsin and knowing many Badger alumn (and passively watching them play) I see a 27-17 type fsu win. Mickey Andrews has been catching shit all year for how the D has been so inconsistent. The team is fired up and the speed will kill Wisconsin. The Badgers are not a good team but, as someone mentioned above, they play well in bowls thus why I didn't say 38-10..hehe
Go Noles!!
Go Noles!!
