<h2>No. 13 Wisconsin vs. No. 9 Minnesota Betting Odds 11/30/2019</h2>
Wisconsin is giving up 2.5 points in this Big 10 game. The Badgers are currently receiving -140 moneyline odds while the Golden Gophers are +120. The over/under has been set at 48.5 points. On the surface it appears that this game should present some live betting possibilities.

Sharp bettors have been hammering the over. The game's O/U initially opened at only 47.

The Badgers are 9-2 straight up (SU), including 6-2 SU against conference opponents. The Golden Gophers are 10-1 SU overall and are also 7-1 SU in conference play. Each of these teams has rewarded gamblers this year as the Badgers have gained 4.0 units and the Golden Gophers are ahead 8.9 units.

The Badgers hope to keep things rolling after a 45-24 win over Purdue last week where their secondary allowed the Boilermakers to air it out for 326 yards and three touchdowns. Brycen Hopkins had a productive day for the Boilermakers in that one with 127 yards and two touchdowns on eight catches. On the offensive side of the ball, Jack Coan completed 15 passes on 19 attempts for 203 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Jonathan Taylor (222 yards on 28 rushes, one TD) and Garrett Groshek (55 yards on nine carries, one TD) led the ground attack in the win while Quintez Cephus (five receptions, 79 yards, one TD) and Kendric Pryor (four catches, 47 yards) shared the receiving duties.

For Minnesota, Tanner Morgan completed 15-of-23 passes for 211 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.

Each squad has a nearly identical (66-34) run-pass ratio on the season. The Badgers, however, have rushed for 250 yards per game (including 247 per game against Big Ten opponents) and have 31 scores via handoffs this year. The Gophers haven't been quite as productive, as they're putting up 185 rushing yards per contest (208 in conference) and have 24 total rush TDs.

Jonathan Taylor (1,481 rushing yards, 16 rush TDs, four receiving touchdowns this season), Kendric Pryor (62 rush yards, one rush TD, 222 receiving yards) and Quintez Cephus (583 receiving yards, five TDs) have all played big roles lately.

In the hosts' locker room, Tanner Morgan has recorded 2,311 yards, 25 TDs and five INTs. Morgan's ANY/A sits at 10.43 for the season and 8.90 over his past two outings.

Tyler Johnson (855 receiving yards, nine receiving touchdowns this season), Rashod Bateman (925 receiving yards, 10 receiving TDs) and Rodney Smith (1,017 rush yards, seven rush TDs) have combined to account for 598 total yards and six touchdowns over the last two games.
