Big Ten title game...9.5pts?

[JHHawk]

MSU is a 9.5pt underdog on Saturday nite vs Wis.
That seems like a big spread.
I know that Wisky is on a roll,beating PSU to a pulp last weekend,but while I cannot stand Dantonio and his tactics, I have to concede that their d-line is the best in the league with Worthy,Gholston,and Rush.
Cousins is a senior steady hand at the helm.
I think Wisconsin wins,but tend to think it will be like 30 to 24 or 35 to 27...9.5 just seems too rich.

Not a fan of either team,but I do think the correct two teams are in this game. Michigan just did not quite have the defense to battle Wis in the trenches like MSU.
As far as a showcase for the Big Ten, if Wisky had gone clean, then it would be getting a ton of attention as the Badgers try for the NC game slot. But, I still think it is a very attractive game,with the two best teams meeting in the inaugural Big Ten title game. I will be watching,and dreaming of Vandy and Marcus playing in it next year.

The fact that this game is not being played at Camp Randall should keep this game close.

I kinda agree here, but something tells me Wisky is ready for revenge for the bs ending to the previous game, I just think MSU gets a beat down.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

i could see wisky winning by 10-14 pts

 

[spudhawk]

I like Wisconsin to cover

 

[glidinghawk]

Wisconsin by 3, something like 27-24.

 

[bcl20]

I feel like Wisconsin has the advantage with the game being indoors on turf.

 

[HawkForce]

Wisconsin wins by 17

 

[ColoradoHAWKEYE]

Wisconsin wins by 17

^ this. revenge factor and msu just has that mystique like iowa to have different teams show up on different days. best 2 teams are playing the game though.

If Sparty D Line can get the push the did in the first game and slow the run game they can keep it close. If not Wisky will most likely cover

I would lay the points and take Wisconsin.

MSU needed a block punt for a TD, a hail mary, a safety and a lot of other things to fall into place to win last time, and that was at home and this is a neutral site.

What is the kickoff time of the game? And is there any lead in program that will feature the B1G "road to Indy", or just typical banter?

I predict a 14-0 Wisky victory. Wisconsin will jump out to an early 2 TD lead in the first Q and then MSU players will begin falling down faking injuries so often and for so long that the exhausted officials will finally call the game after 8 hours.
