NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) has the following best bets for Saturday’s matchup between the USC Trojans and Wisconsin Badgers: 
“Wisconsin will be without starting quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, but the focal point of Wisconsin football has been the ground game and a physical defense. Those two things won’t change, just be counted on more.

USC is still a top-25 team with a surprisingly good defense and an excellent quarterback in Miller Moss under center. However, laying -14 or more and covering in conference play is no simple task and this is a different conference than the Pac-12.

Playing Michigan and Wisconsin’s defenses back-to-back weeks is physical, plus the Badgers had a bye week to work with its backup quarterback and gameplan for USC. Wisconsin could hang around and cover the +14.5.”
