Bulls Live Betting on College Football Home Dogs to Badgers Friday?

Wisconsin Badgers vs. South Florida Bulls

At the onset of the 2019 season, South Florida head coach Charlie Strong is feeling the heat. Strong may not quite be on the hot seat but it’s getting warm. Entering his third season at USF Strong has betting on college football record of 17-8. Of great concern was the Bulls epic collapse to end the 2018 season. USF got off to a 7-0 start one year ago. However, they went into free fall with five consecutive losses to end the campaign. Worst of all their defense ranked an abysmal 104th in the nation overall.

Wisconsin Badgers vs. South Florida Bulls Overview

Last year Wisconsin was one of the biggest bets on college football disappointments in 2019. Touted as a top-five playoff team, the Badgers never got on track. To illuminate Wisconsin ended up 8-5 straight up, 4-9 vs. the odds, and 6-7 under the total. In particular quarterback play was a major detriment to the Badgers. UW ranked an alarming 119th in passing for 2018. In the same way, it was a season of disappointment for the Bulls. USF finished 7-6 straight up, 4-9 against the spread and 6-7 under the total.

Badgers Reboot

At the beginning of the season, there are a lot of changes on the Wisconsin offense. Jack Coan will be the starting quarterback. Five-star true freshman Graham Mertz will be right behind Coan. Four new starters will be on the offensive line. Most important of all running back Jonathan Taylor is back. No back in America is a better offshore betting asset. Taylor ran for over 1900 yards in each of the last two seasons. He is a top tier Heisman Trophy candidate. Meanwhile, Coan is expected to cut down on the interceptions of departed QB Alex Hornibrook.

A Strong Challenge

Namely, the new offensive coordinator Kevin Bell has been hired to ignite an inconsistent offense. Bell won a Division II national title at Valdosta State. USF has as much or more talent as any Group of Five programs. Accordingly, this is a make or break season for Strong.
