Although they did not get the money last week Wisconsin was still dominant and impressive. The Badgers were never threatened by Western Kentucky in 34-3 win. However, they proved to be bet on College Football overlays as 36-point chalks. While the Badgers will again be a huge favorite Saturday they will face a New Mexico team lacking defense. Comparted to Wisconsin the Lobos are also much smaller. More emphatically they stand the realistic chance of being steamrolled. Starting with the biggest and most experienced offensive line in America UW is loaded. In the same way they also have skill.

New Mexico vs. Wisconsin TV Coverage: BTN
New Mexico Lobos
At the beginning of the season there are a lot of terrible bet on College Football matchups. Which was certainly the case last week at New Mexico. Indeed, the Lobos scored a 62-30 home win over 1AA Incarnate Word. As a result, its next to impossible to get a true read on New Mexico’s capability. In the same way Tevaka Tuioti had a strong game. To show Tuioti was 13/21 for 327 yards and four touchdowns passing. Marcus Williams caught two of those scores. Of major concern was that New Mexico allowed 566 yards total offense to Incarnate Word.
Concerns for New Mexico
Additionally, it’s very unlikely that the Lobos will total the 684 total yards that they compiled last week. Of major concern is New Mexico’s ability to move the ball on the stout Wisconsin defense.
Wisconsin Badgers
It follows that Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook would have a strong opener. Embracing his third year as starter Hornibrook was 17/29 for 257 yards and two touchdowns. Additionally, Heisman candidate Jonathan Taylor ran for 145 yards and two toucbhdowns. And AJ Taylor caught five passes for 85 yards despite a couple of drops. In view of their performance Wisconsin looked every bit the part of a Big Ten title contender.
Stats to Consider
New Mexico has been a subpar sportsbook play in away games. To be exact the Lobos are 5-9 vs. the odds away from home. Additionally, seven of New Mexico’s last nine away games also went under the total. Concurrently the Lobos have not excelled as a road dog. In fact, New Mexico has lost seven of their last 11 as away pups. Nine of their last 12 in that situation went under the total.
Team vs. Team
Despite last week’s board failure Wisconsin has been a solid home chalk. To demonstrate the Badgers have covered three of their last four laying lumber at home. Further they have gone under in three of their last five as favorites at Camp Randall Stadium. As a favorite of ten points or more at the Camp UW has paid in two of their last three tries.
Matchup to Watch
Naturally this is a bet on College Football mismatch. It follows that the line will be huge and rightly so. Not withstanding the big price Wisconsin is the superior choice here.
