Wisconsin Badgers Betting - Rose Bowl Odds

The Wisconsin Badgers won the first two Big Ten Championship Games, but they haven’t had much luck in Indianapolis since those initial victories. The Badgers lost the Big Ten Championship Game for the fourth time in the past six seasons after falling to Ohio State for the third time in that stretch this season, but Wisconsin has a nice landing spot. Wisconsin will be heading to Pasadena to take on the Oregon Ducks in the Rose Bowl. This is the Badgers’ first trip to the Granddaddy of Them All since the 2013 season, and they are hoping to win their first Rose Bowl since they bested Stanford on January 1, 2000. Wisconsin went to the Rose Bowl in three straight seasons from 2011 to 2013, but the Badgers lost all three of those games by a touchdown or less. They are favored per the college football betting odds to end that streak when kicking off the new decade.

Rose Bowl Odds

Wisconsin Badgers -2.5

Oregon Ducks +2.5

Total 51

Wisconsin hasn’t changed its philosophy on offense in years. The Badgers are a run-first team, and they have another great running back in Jonathan Taylor this season.

Taylor has run for 1,909 yards and 21 touchdowns in 2019, averaging 6.4 YPC. He became a Heisman Trophy contender in September after running all over Michigan’s defense, and he made Wisky one of the best teams in the nation. He improved as a pass catcher this year, catching 24 passes for 209 yards and five touchdowns too, quarterback Jack Coan another option to use out of the backfield.

Coan had a solid season in replacing Alex Hornibrook, completing 70.1 percent of his passes for over 2,500 yards with 17 touchdowns and four interceptions. He averaged 8.4 YPA, and he made the most of Quintez Cephus.

Cephus is one of the most unheralded receivers in the country. He caught 52 passes for 842 yards and six touchdowns, and he was at his best against elite competition. Cephus is going to be the X-Factor against Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

The Ducks have one of the best defenses in the Pac 12. They are allowing 3.4 YPC, and the pass defense has been even better. That will test Wisconsin’s resolve with the run, but the Badgers are going to keep running the ball as long as it is somewhat successful.

Oregon is a lot like Wisconsin, although the Ducks have a much better quarterback. Mario Cristobal likes to run the ball and trust his defense, but Justin Herbert is too much of a weapon to ignore.

Herbert has completed 66.7 percent of his passes for 3,333 yards with 32 touchdowns and five interceptions this season. He has targeted Johnny Johnson III a lot over the last four weeks, so Wisconsin will need to watch him in the passing game.

C.J. Verdell and Travis Dye have both run for more than 6.2 YPC, and the duo could surpass 2,000 rushing yards in the Rose Bowl. However, Oregon’s offense might have some issues as offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo left to become UNLV’s head coach.

Wisconsin boasts one of the top defenses in the nation. The Badgers were 15th in the country per SP+, and the only team that could consistently run on this front seven was Ohio State. That should bode well for Wisconsin on January 1.

Regular Season Recap

The Badgers set the college football community ablaze in the first half of the season. Wisconsin registered four shutouts in its first six games, and the Badgers national championship odds fell to as low as 15-1. However, Wisconsin was stunned on the road by Illinois as a 30-point favorite prior to their tilt with Ohio State in Columbus, dealing their title hopes a big blow.

Wisconsin hung close with Ohio State for a half before losing the next week, taking the Badgers out of contention for the national championship, but they rallied to beat Iowa and won their next two games. That set up a meeting with Minnesota for Paul Bunyan’s Axe with the winner claiming the Big Ten West. The Badgers won that game 38-17 to earn another crack at the Buckeyes in the Big Ten Championship Game, and we saw a repeat of the regular season result.

Paul Chryst and the Badgers took a 21-7 lead into halftime, but they surrendered 27 unanswered points in the second half to fall 34-21. Taylor had great numbers, and Coan played well in the loss, but Wisconsin’s defense couldn’t get off the field in the second half.
