Wisconsin Badgers vs. LSU Tigers Betting Preview
Known first for their defensive excellence, the Wisconsin Badgers show off one of the best defenses in College Football, permitting a mere 18.9 points per game. On the other side of the ball, their offensive performance averages 22.8 points per game.
However, the Badgers are faced with the challenge of navigating the upcoming game without their top two running backs, as Braelon Allen, destined for the NFL Draft, and Chez Mellusi, battling back from a midseason injury, will both be sidelined.
Taking the wheel for the Badgers is Tanner Mordecai, who delivered six touchdowns during the season. Noteworthy among these were two touchdowns in the pivotal road victory against Minnesota to conclude the season. Emerging as the primary target is Will Pauling, boasting an impressive stat line of 66 receptions, 694 yards, and 4 touchdowns for the season.
This is the 35th College Football bowl game in school history for Wisconsin. The Badgers have won three straight games. They won last season at the Guaranteed Rate Bowl in Phoenix over Oklahoma State. The previous two seasons they beat Wake Forest and Arizona State. The last time they lost was in 2020 at the Rose Bowl.
As for the offensive prowess of the Tigers, despite the absence of Jayden Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy recipient preparing to enter the NFL Draft, the LSU Tigers maintain their potency. Garrett Nussmeier is slated to assume the quarterback position.
The Tigers will have their top receiving threats in Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, each surpassing 1,000 yards for the season, with Thomas tallying 15 touchdowns and Nabers contributing 14.
In the rushing department, while Daniels dominated the season with 1,134 yards and 10 touchdowns on 135 attempts, this game is expected to see Logan Diggs playing a more substantial role. This follows his limited involvement in the season finale against Texas A&M.
