Wisconsin vs. Florida St. Champs Sports Bowl Gambling

NCAAF: Badgers like Florida weather

The Florida State Seminoles are playing the Champs Sports Bowl in their home state, but don’t discount the chances of the Wisconsin Badgers.

The Badgers have played in Florida bowl games the last five years against tough SEC teams and while they went just 2-3 straight-up, they were 3-2 against the spread and easily could have gone 5-0 against the spread (ATS) with a couple of breaks in games that were close in the fourth quarter.

That bodes well against Florida State who has similar speed of an SEC team even though they play in the ACC.
