The Big Ten has never been a great conference as far as bowl games go. They are over-valued in the point spread consistently. I think USC has too much offense and overall team speed for Whisky to handle. Whisky has a very decent defense but are just average on offense. I believe Kessler will light up the scoreboard and USC will cover. Happy New Year to you all!   ----    THE Myth

The depleted USC defense can and will handle a below average B-10 offense. USC running game has reemerged hopefully giving Kessler a clean pocket. Double digit winner for the Trojans

Wisky the team with something to prove and Trojans cant stop the run, they were shredded by Stanford's Macaffrey for 312 all purpose and 2 TDs. Badgers 2 headed running attack has 14 TDs between them. Also,Helton fired 4 assistants recently with no replacements, so no rudder to guide the ship. Public $ on USC, but sharps $ going the other way. Badgers +3.5

There are 6 teams in the Pac-12 that are better than Wisconsin.   This will be played in USC's backyard.

Trojans by 14

So Cal in A rout! Stop the run and you stop Wisky! Stanford was successful BECAUSE they have a QB that can throw  downfield and extend plays.Stave at qb.....PLEASE!!

One other littlesomething and that is SC has to much speed and offensive weapons.plus they have enough bluechip players on defense to do the job.It was never the players on defense,it was scheme and coach that failed and they have been replaced.It will be a simple attack scheme to stop the run,and with the Badgers losey QB play.........WOODSHED!!!

az49whatever:   your talking about the 97th rushing attack Badgers??? you can click on some badgers games ( vs power house def. like maryland, Rutgers) and check out the two headed rush stats

Defensive win championships!  Wisconsin held #1 Clemson scoring only 20 points. Take the points and watch the Badgers defense do work!

a team of 5 stars playing a team of 3 stars, better QB, playing a quasi home game...equally motivated teams...I believe USC will TCB and cover...

Trojans all day

Think Defense is gonna win this one and Wisconsin has a very good defense.

Taking the Badgers and the points! Good luck!

Leaning to USC. Problem is I like all the favs today. A dog gotta win.

AZ49ERDOG has a good point Stan ran it down USC throat with Macaffery but you have to have a good air attack and I think the badgers dont have as good of passing attack as USC. I think USC's D steps up and USC covers.

USC - 3.5

Usc

TROJANS

USC is playing in the backyard with new coach wants to prove he earn this job. only -3.5. taking trojans and over. points are low too..

I think Under 51 is the best main play here. Small parlay on Wisc +3.5 and the under.

Wisky will not have their 1000 yrd  team leading rusher Dare Ogunbowale but Clement should be good to go hopefully

Wisky has the #1 Dfense in the country.

Wisky has yielded an average of 13.1 points and allowed 3 opponents to reach 20pts.

Wisky rank 3rd nationally in total defense (267.1 yards per game), 4rth against the run (97.9) and sixth (169.2) defending the pass.

Wisky +3.5

Wisconsin - 23                                     USC - 20

Badgers +3                                under 50.5

Big 10 pulls off mild upset over PAC 12. I could be wrong but Kessler might be a bit ORated. He will probably make me eat my words and have a record breaking game.

Wisky - Under 

Did you know the Badgers have been in a bowl almost every year since the mid 90's?  They started the first have of those years great winning 7 of 8 SU. But since then going the other way, winning 4 of 12.  They did win last year.

In the last 7 games, USC is 7-0 against the Big 10 in Bowl Games. The Trojans have a huge speed advantage over the Badgers. And with a renewed power running game, look for the Trojans to have a balance dose of running and passing against the Badger defense.

 The Badgers played a very weak schedule, and they were double digit favorites in 7 games this season. They avoided playing Ohio State, Michigan State, and Michigan.

 The Holiday Bowl is almost a home game for the Trojans, while the Badgers travel across the country for a road game.

The Badgers will keep this game close in the first half. But the Trojans have too many athletes and too much speed. Look for the final score to be           USC- 34   Wisconsin-24.

Looks like USC has been in almost every bowl since bowls started.  51 total.  Winning well over half and all but 3 since 2000.

I like wisconsin here. They've done me well this year and i think defenses have an advantage over offenses in interconference games, usually. Wisconsin does have a banged up o-line and that worries me. O-lines are onw odmrhe most important and underrated aspects of football. Good an experienced o-lines win games. Inexperienced o-lines tend tomlose them.
