Wisconsin vs Nebraska Picks: Bet Badgers in Upset 11/23

The wrong team could be favored with NCAAF lines when the Wisconsin Badgers and Nebraska Cornhuskers meet in an important Big Ten Conference game on Saturday.

Coming off a nail-biting 16-13 loss to No. 1 Oregon, the Badgers deserve to be the favorites against a Cornhuskers team coming off four consecutive losses, so there is good value available this week.

2 Keys to Bet on Wisconsin vs Nebraska

1. Bet on Wisconsin to Cover Against Nebraska

If Oregon is considered one of the best teams in the country, as its ranking suggests, then Wisconsin deserves plenty of respect.

The Badgers lost 16-13 against the Ducks, and that was an excellent defensive performance against a team heading for the College Football Playoff, so we’re giving them plenty of credit for making a game of it.

College football odds didn’t give them much chance of winning as two-touchdown underdogs. Wisconsin has now lost three in a row, but two of those defeats were against top-four teams, with the other coming to Penn State 28-13.

The Badgers were disappointed by giving up a lead in the fourth quarter to Oregon, but it was a credible performance.

“They did everything we asked them to do,” head coach Luke Fickell said. “They played the way we wanted them to play and expected them to play. We just right now have to find a way to be able to finish.”

Getting a +2½ start is a generous line for Wisconsin, which faces a tricky road test, but it’s good enough for our NCAA football predictions.

2. Cornhuskers Suffering Losing Streak

We backed the Nebraska Cornhuskers to cover the +9 spread when losing 27-20 to USC last week, but we’re jumping off their backs on Saturday.

Our expert betting picks can’t find room for them against the Badgers, and that’s largely because they have lost their winning groove. They started the season 5-1, and they looked like a potential playoff team.

However, after losing four on the bounce, winning this game will be tough. Per Wisconsin vs Nebraska stats, the Cornhuskers are struggling on offense, failing to surpass 20 points in each of the past four losses.

They fell to unbeaten Indiana 56-7 to start the streak and the following three losses to Ohio State, UCLA and USC could have been due to the flow-on effect. Suffering a heavy loss can break a team’s heart, and we believe that has happened to the Cornhuskers.

They have been competitive in their last three games, including a 21-17 loss to Ohio State, but losing becomes ingrained and we think they are wrongly favored at -126 moneyline odds.

We priced them at +100 based on recent form, so there isn’t enough value to back them.

How to Bet on Wisconsin vs Nebraska

Our college football best bets have Wisconsin winning the game outright and covering the +2½ spread. Bettors get +106 for the Badgers to win, which is worth including in picks for Week 13 action.

We’re also making an online bet of under 42½ points . These teams have solid defenses and it could be a low-scoring, defensive battle at Memorial Stadium.

Wisconsin allowed only six points in the first three quarters against Oregon, so we can’t see Nebraska scoring too many points. We envision the game ending 20-13 for the Badgers, which gives bettors some points to work with.
