This is a 10* BIG TEN TOM on the OVER Nebraska/Wisconsin.

To say this is a "big" game would be an understatement. These teams re both 5-5 with two games remaining.

The winner will become "eligibile" and the loser will have one more chance.

Either way, while neither team has been involved in many high-scoring games to this point, I believe the conditions are now finally right for a bit of an offensive battle.

Nebraska is off the 13-10 home loss to Maryland, while Wisconsin fell 24-10 to Northwestern.

The Badgers have seen the total go UNDER in three straight, but note that Wisconsin has seen the total go OVER the number in three of its last four after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.

Wisconsin has to be liking its chances here as well as it's won nine straight in this series.

That includes a 15-14 road win last year.

But now the overall situation, combined with the numbers/trends finally point to these teams reaching the mid-20's with their points.

This number is low, the play is the OVER.
