On the season Wisconsin is 8-14 ATS and they have an Over/under record of 9-10 and Minnesota is 13-9 ATS with an Over/Under record of 8-9.
Minnesota is 12-2 at home this season and the reason Wisconsin is the underdog facing a struggling Golden Gophers’ team is because they are only 3-4 on the road.
The Badgers have beaten the Golden Gophers in 4 straight games including winning at home by 3 points in the end of January.
Wisconsin has the best defense in the Big 10 and they are 4-1 facing ranked teams this season including beating 2 top 5 teams in Indiana and Michigan.
Facing the Badgers and their solid D is not good for the Golden Gophers, who have not shot over 40% from the field in 4 of their last 6 games and in that span they are only averaging 56.8 ppg. [ad-6571516]
Minnesota leading scorer Andre Hollins (13.8 ppg) has really struggled in his last 3 games and in the last game he was only 2/10 from the floor. He has to get back on track tonight and leading rebounder Trevor Mbakwe (9.8 ppg 8.8 rpg) has to hit the boards and he has at least 10 rebounds in his last 2 games.
Minnesota does not have a lot of size and they have to body up on 6’10” FW/C Jared Berggren (11.9 ppg 6.8 rpg) and not give him easy shots in the paint. The Badgers win with D, as they only have 3 players averaging in double figures.
In some betting trends for this Big 10 match up Wisconsin is -5 ATS in their last 7 games overall, 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games, and they have an Under record of 0-4 in their last 13 games after a S.U. win.
Minnesota is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall, 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, and they have an Under record of 5-1 in their last 6 games.
Jason’s Pick: The Badgers have only covered the spread in 2 of their last 8 games facing Minnesota, but that will change tonight. Wisconsin may not win, but it will be close and they will, at least, cover the spread.
