According to the best online sportsbooks, Miami were 6.5-point underdogs. Meaning they not only lost straight-up but also failed to cover the spread.

However, they finished with a 24-3 blowout of Pittsburgh as five-point home faves. This will Miami’s sixth straight bowl appearance and first Pinstripe Bowl.
The Badgers came in second in the Big Ten’s West Division, recording eight wins and five losses (5-4 in conference play). The Badgers posted an even poorer 3-9 ATS record. They closed their season with a 15-37 home loss to Minnesota as 11.5-point chalk. This will be Wisconsin’s 17th consecutive bowl appearance and first Pinstripe Bowl.

Our Game Prediction: The Canes will be looking for some payback. However, South Floridians can’t be expected to do too well in the frozen wasteland of New York. That may be the only advantage for the Badgers. That and the fact that Chryst is their head coach. All things considered, though, neither teams can be trusted against the spread this season. Miami only covered in four games, two of them on the road. And Wisconsin covered only three, also two of which were away from home. This one could easily go either way. Users of Offshore sportsbooks might be more comfortable betting on the under. The Canes started out as a point-making machine but their production decreased in their last few games. And the Badgers have been held to 22 points or fewer five times this season.
