Wisconsin's plodding, ugly style just works on New Year's day. It may have something to do with their opponent overlooking them based on watching a season of film. Wisconsin is the one team that is actually slow on their lines, but they find a way to make it work.
They're playing a Vol team that didn't want anything to do with Penn State last year and just got manhandled.
Wisconsin +120

I think this is the first of many times that the Hogs realize how valuable Nutt was on gameday. I'd be worried about a letdown for Mizzou, but this is as high of a bowl that they've been at in recent mempry

This game should set up perfectly for Michigan - a chance for redemption in a bowl game in their coaches last game. But when you look at the leaders that the Wolverines have - A receiver that calls out a frosh on the field preceded by multiple drops over the middle (and on the sideline as well), a running back who joins the receiver on the bench in calling out the frosh QB and who needs to be pulled from a pre-game woof session with Ohio State and Chad Henne who peaked in his first game as a freshman.
Carr deserves better

There's so many reasons that this game sets up well for the Trojans from wanting to get the #1 ranking in the first 2008 pull, taking the LA conversation off of UCLA and Neiuheisal (sp??) and just to give the type of performance that maybe they were the best team this year.
And Illinois is doing all of this stuff for the first time. I think that USC can stop the RB straight up on the standard spread play and I don't think Juice has the QB skills to make quality decisions on the edge against the type of speed that USC has.
Really think that this gets ugly early and no one ever accussed Carroll of having class.

I'm a bit worried about Georgia's motivation coming into this game, but West Virginia a couple of years ago has to be in everybody's minds.
