Wisconsin vs Nebraska ATS Pick: Nebraska Cornhuskers (-1)
The Cornhuskers are coming off a rough loss in conference against Maryland, but they have a solid chance of getting back on track and getting a big win against Wisconsin.
Nebraska has been a dominant team at home this season, going 13-1, including a win over then-No. 1 Purdue. In their last three home games, the ‘Huskers have averaged 82 points a game, shooting at a 51.8% clip in that time as well.
Though Wisconsin has been rolling this season, it hasn’t had the easiest time on the road recently. The Badgers struggled to defeat Minnesota while they fell to Penn State on the road as well. Wisconsin’s offense has looked unstoppable, but its defense hasn’t been as strong. In its last two road games, it gave up 73 points a game while opponents shot 40.9% from beyond the arc.
Nebraska has been a good 3-point shooting team, shooting 36.4% from the arc and 56.2% from there in its last three home games, and it should have another strong game against Wisconsin. Furthermore, this has the potential to be a trap game for the Badgers, who get Purdue up next on their schedule and who are 3-3 on the road.
With the ‘Huskers getting a chance at a defining and resume-building win against Wisconsin, they are a solid NCAAB bet to get it done at home once again.
Wisconsin vs Nebraska Player Prop: Brice Williams Over 1.5 3-Point Field Goals Made (+104)
Williams is one of Nebraska’s strongest 3-point shooters, shooting it at 38.6% from the arc this season, and that has only gotten stronger in January. Last month, Williams went 53.1% from the arc in eight games, sinking at least two threes in four of the eight games.
Three of those four games came in Williams’ last four games, where he shot it at a 54.2% clip, and that strong shooting should continue against Wisconsin. Williams is shooting the 3-ball at a 41.5% shooting percentage at home, and with the Badgers allowing opponents to shoot it at 36.2% this season, he should have a chance to sink a few more in what should be a tight game.
