Wisconsin vs. LSU Pick
The Badgers' defense has been outstanding this year, and facing a backup quarterback today, they can limit the Tigers' offensive production.
Wisconsin will keep the ball on the ground, which will help them control the time of possession, limiting the offensive possessions for LSU.
Lastly, LSU is the most publicly bet side of the day, and we always love a good public fade!
