According to latest college football odds and oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com, TCU is a 3-point favorite over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. The over/under total for this game is currently 58.5 points.
The Horned Frogs finished a perfect 12-0 this year and covered in seven of their 12 games according to latest college football trends. They averaged 43.3 points per game this season and allowed just 11.4.
The Badgers had just one blemish on their record as they lost to Michigan State on the road. Wisconsin finished 11-1 in the regular season and covered in seven of their 12 games. They also won their last seven games by scoring 83, 48 and 70 points.
2011 Rose Bowl Free Pick:
TCU’s defense is nasty but we think Wisconsin will wear the Frogs down throughout the course of the game. The Frogs are built on speed and the Badgers on size and strength. Wisconsin’s offensive line is one of the best in the nation and they have a trio of running backs in John Clay, James White and Montee Ball. They also have a quarterback in Scott Tolzien who was one of the most accurate passers in the nation (he led the country in completion percentage at 74.3). Wisconsin’s defense will need to slow Andy Dalton and that TCU offense, just like Boise State did in last year’s Fiesta Bowl. The Badgers forced 23 takeaways this season, so they’re a defensive unit that can be very opportunistic. Our pick is Wisconsin +3.
