This matchup should prove to be one of the best contests of Week 1, as there\u2019s a reason it\u2019s nationally televised on ESPN during primetime. <\/p>\n When: Saturday, Aug. 30 2014 9:00 p.m. ET<\/strong> Click here to view…\u00a0ATS Betting Stats<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0NCAA Football Gambling Insight!<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The good news for the Wisconsin Baders? This road game isn\u2019t really a road game. It\u2019s played on a neutral field, which is a serious plus against one of the top teams in the country.<\/p>\n The bad news is that, despite being just one spot lower in the rankings to the Tigers, the Badgers are five-point underdogs entering their first contest of the 2-14 college football season.<\/p>\n Wisconsin is well-accustomed to this type of scenario. This year included, the Badgers have played a ranked opponent (non-conference) on a neutral field to start a season for the fourth time in five years. In order for the Tigers to walk away victorious in this one, it\u2019s going to be important for them to control the trenches. This group has a lot of experience on the offensive line, and on the other side of the ball, it\u2019s going against a team that was second in the Big Ten in rushing defense last season.<\/p>\n According to reports, Les Miles has a starter at quarterback, but he won\u2019t announce who it will be until closer to kickoff. This leaves the fans wondering how the Tigers will perform offensively this season, but the fact that Miles acknowledges a decision has been made is a good sign.<\/p>\n Truth be told, there are a lot of similarities between these two programs. This game could go either way, especially if the uncertainty at quarterback is a bit more ambiguous on LSU\u2019s front than is being advertised.<\/p>\n LSU is the favorite in this one, and understandably so. The Tigers have talent at virtually every postions (and more so than the Badgers) but running back could be the deciding factor, which goes Wisconsin\u2019s way.<\/p>\n A five-point spread isn\u2019t too bold to call if you\u2019re an LSU fan, but at this point, you\u2019re better taking the Tigers in a close win, or if you\u2019re feeling risky, LSU in a close loss.<\/p>\n\n
