Wisconsin was No. 19 in the country in scoring defense this season allowing only 18.9 points per game and now the Badgers get to face LSU, which will be playing without its star quarterback, Jayden Daniels, who opted out to prepare for the NFL draft. Redshirt sophomore Garrett Nussmeier will likely get the start for the Tigers, who led the country with 46.4 points per game with Daniels behind center, but they allowed 27.8. Nussmeier has attempted 33 passes for 915 yards and a touchdown this season. In three seasons at LSU, Nussmeier has thrown eight TD passes and six interceptions. Wisconsin finished the regular season on a high note winning its last two games against Nebraska and Minnesota. The Badgers will have their starting QB, Tanner Mordecai, and he has plenty of experience as his sixth-year transfer's eligibility will be up after this game. Mordecai missed some games due to an injury, but he threw for 1,687 yards and six TDs in nine games and the Badgers won six of them. Wisconsin has the better defense, a more experienced quarterback and the motivation to beat an SEC school. Take Wisconsin ATS as a Max Play and on the moneyline.
