The set-up: I like the 11-2 Ducks and the points vs. the 10-3 Badgers. The Ducks upset Utah 37-15 in the Pac 12 Championship and I look for them to carry that momentum over here. That was a huge victory and it catapulted them immediately into this contest, while ruining the Utes' chances at a playoff spot. Perhaps the most impressive part of the victory was holding the powerful Utes to just 15 points. I think senior Justin Herbert wil be a difference maker here, as he enters with a sharp 32:5 TD:INT. The Badgers had a 21-7 lead over Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship Game, but then the Buckeyes blew them out 27-0 in the second half. QB Justin Fields was a bright spot in the setback with 300 yards and three TD's, but I believe he'll have his hands full with a Ducks' defense which held six teams to single-digits in points this year.

The pick: Note as well that Wisconsin is already 0-2 ATS this year off a loss vs. a conference rival, while Oregon is 4-1 ATS in its last five after a win by 21 points or more. I like Herbert and the Ducks' suffocating defense to build off their latest performance; grab the points.

8* BLOWOUT on Oregon.
