Wisconsin Badgers (2-3) vs Minnesota Golden Gophers (3-3)
Saturday, December 19, 2020 at 4:00 pm
At 4 pm, our selection is on the Wisconsin Badgers minus the points over Minnesota. The Golden Gophers went into Lincoln, Nebraska last week, and upset the Cornhuskers, 24-17, as an 8-point road underdog. But this is a horrible situation for the Gophers, as the Badgers come into this Saturday afternoon game on a rare 3-game losing streak. Even worse for the Badgers: they were favored in each of those games, and scored just 7, 6 and 7 points in those defeats. But we'll take Wisky to bounce back here, at home, as double-digit home favorites, off back to back SU/ATS losses, have cashed 71% over the last 41 years vs. foes off a SU/ATS win, if our home team was off an upset defeat in its previous game. Additionally, this will be Wisconsin's final home game of the season. And it's 24-13 ATS in its final game at home when matched up against a Big 10 foe, including 8-4 ATS off a SU loss. Meanwhile, Minnesota is a wallet-busting 0-8 SU and 1-7 ATS on the road when getting 11+ points against an opponent off an upset loss. Take Wisconsin minus the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
