6-Unit Play. #723 Take Western Kentucky (+6.5) over Wisconsin (8 p.m., Wednesday, December 13)
This line leaves little doubt oddsmakers are being stubborn with this Badgers team, who are 4-7 overall and really struggling. Wisconsin was just blown out as six-point home favorite to Marquette over the weekend. They are 1-4 in their last five overall, and most of their losses this year haven't even been close. Wisconsin is no doubt lacking confidence, and an upstart WKU team that has had pretty good success early this year is going to smell blood in the water. This Hilltoppers team already has wins over Purdue and SMU. They also played now No. 1 Villanova to an eight-point game. Wisconsin also was dealt further insult to injury (literally) with two of their rotation players out indefinitely. It's the exact opposite for a confident mid-major to score a Power 5 win for their resume. Wisconsin is 2-5 ATS as a favorite this year while Western Kentucky is 3-0 as an underdog, including those two outright wins as a double digit dog against the Boilermakers and Mustangs. Everything points to a low scoring game, and that puts even more value on the underdog getting a favorable result with the number. Western Kentucky does one better and is victorious in Madison by five.
