Breaking Badger: BYU vs. Wisconsin

[Clark Addison]

That was a Riley Heaps-esque pass by Wisky.

[Art Vandelay]

If BYU can stop, or at least slow down, the UW run game, I like our chances against Stave passing.

Not overly impressed with Wisconsin today.

That being said, BYU's O-line had its work cut out for em.

Their offense isn't scary, but I think their front seven will have their way with us.

[Art Vandelay]

What do you think the opening line will be? I'm guessing BYU +6.5.

Edit: I just saw Cardiac predicted 5 points in the college FB thread. That is probably closer than mine. I feel like it should be +4.5, but thought that might be too blue-tinted of me.

Sagarin Predictor would say it's a 3-point spread plus another 3 points for home field advantage so BYU +6 on the road or a toss-up if the game were in Provo. Sounds pretty close to me -- should be between 5 and 7 points.

The opening line is +7.5, at most books. BYU getting even less repect than I anticipated.

i'd be surprised if it moved any closer than +7

What would make you think we'd be favored @ Camp Randall vs. a very formidable Wisconsin squad?

Look five posts above.

In gambling parlance + means you are the underdog.

Yes. And you state that BYU is getting even less respect than you anticipated. A one TD dog in Madison to a ranked team is disrespect?

I felt in my biased opinion, BYU should be a 4.5 underdog, but thought the books would set the line at +6.5. My less respect than I expected was, about it being a point higher than I guessed. I don't think BYU should be favored, and anything around +7 is fair. I just guessed wrong, that is what I was referring to.

Wisconsin's RB tandem James White and Melvin Gordon have a distinctive TD dance that has now become a small viral phenomenon among Badger faithful. This new video is actually really great. Ron Dayne and Barry Alvarez make cameos.

When you average 8 and 6.5 ypc and combine for 2000 yards and 20tds you can do whatever you want.
