It looks as though the sports books are opening up at about -1.5 to -2.0 in favor of Wisconsin. Only over/under I have seen was 41.5, if I remember right. Until the betters say otherwise, Las Vegas appears to foresee a close game in which the Badgers, in crunch time, find a way to "finish" and the Gophers don't (or they choke). Comports with the Gophers' recent history in toss-up games: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. As we appear to be down to one RB, and AK8 seems reasonably competent early in the game but not at all confident in crunch time, here's hoping for a great defensive effort.
Also, modest suggestion. Coaching staff should look at what routes worked for BSF last year. BSF appears to have trouble catching 7-10 yard bullets when he is running laterally, parallel to the LOS. Maybe toss a few passes to him running up field? Better chance to haul in the pass? In this last game of the season and BSF's college career, perhaps scheme to his relative strength rather than to his apparent weakness.
