One of the surprise teams in college football this season against the odds at the sports books may be Wisconsin.




The Badgers may be a better bet against college football odds at the online sports books, despite the fact that they are not going to get the recognition of Ohio State in the Big 10.

College football sports books odds post Wisconsin at 40-1 to earn the national championship this season. The Badgers won their bowl competition over Miami of Florida after going 10-3 last season. They are returning 16 starters which includes 10 on offense. Quarterback Scott Tolzin passed for 16 touchdowns and 2,705 yards last season although he did have 11 interceptions. The offense is directed by running back John Clay who had 1,517 yards and 18 TDs last season. The Badgers also return tight end Lance Kendricks along with wide receivers Nick Toon and Isaac Andrews. The offensive line for Wisconsin is loaded with expertise and they’re considered one of the top in the nation.

The defense for Wisconsin will decide how far they go in 2010. They return defensive ends JJ Watt and Louis Nzegwu, though they do lose O’Brien Schofield, who had twelve sacks last season. Cornerbacks Devin Smith and Niles Brinkley come back, while Chris Borland also returns at linebacker. Wisconsin needs their defense to get better since last season if they anticipate to win the Big 10.

Last season the Badgers were 7-6 vs the college football odds at the online sports books. They may be much better than that this season. The crucial competition for Wisconsin will be on October 16th as they host Ohio State. The Badgers are only 1-4 at home against the spread in the last 5 meetings against the Buckeyes.

Ohio State opens up the 2010 season at UNLV in a competition they’re likely to win. After that, they host winnable matches vs San Jose State and Arizona State, although the game vs the Sun Devils is a threat. They then host Austin Peay before opening Big 10 play at Michigan State. If the Badgers can win that competition they’re likely to beat Minnesota the following week before their meeting against the Buckeyes. Given that they host Ohio State on October 16th and visit Iowa the following week, the most difficult two matches this season for Wisconsin look to be in back-to-back weeks.
