Looks like the polls don't think a ton of Wisconsin but it is nice to start off the year with a top #25 team in both polls

USF opened as a 9 1/2 point underdog... and it's gone up to 13 1/2 points.

It will be interesting to see how the line moves the week of the game. I think 10 points is appropriate given the unknowns for each team.

Well, what is known: Wisconsin as Jonathan Taylor and USF's run defense gave up 250 yards per game last season.

The EARLY forecast for that night... 88% humidity... high that day is in the mid 80s... so it's not super hot... but gonna be sticky.

And that seems to be what is driving the early wagers. I don't bet on my own teams, but if the line got above 14, I would be tempted.

If we can't make a few stops, it will be our defensive line cramping.  Their offensive line will not get gassed by being on the field more.

If it stays under 14 I'll take Wisc.
