The Wisconsin Badgers play football today against the Oregon Ducks, and it's set to be a brutal one if you are a Wisconsin fan. It's another week in which Wisconsin is not really chasing a win but more like chasing a single point. The Badgers have had two games in a row in which they haven't scored any points. Against the Ducks, they are looking for some sort of offensive rhythm.
Vegas has no hope for the Badgers to beat the Ducks, but it does give some light at the end of the tunnel in the pursuit of points for Wisconsin.
Final Odds for Wisconsin vs. Oregon: 31.5 Ducks
The final odds for Wisconsin vs. Oregon are set at 31.5 in favor of the Ducks. The over/under is currently at 44.5. The difference between those two numbers is what gives fans the indication that Vegas assumes the Badgers will break the point drought and score in this game. If you take the spread and the over/under, the final score prediction from Vegas is set at 38-7 approximately.
If that score hits, it's technically the over at 45 points. So you could theoretically have a score of 38-6 and get the under at 44. Which two field goals feel more likely at this point than a single touchdown? Though who knows with this Badgers team?
Final score prediction: Oregon 41 Wisconsin 3

It's hard to see the Badgers break through against another top-ranked team. There's not much hope for Wisconsin this season, unless the hope is that the team continues to flounder so much that Chris McIntosh is forced to fire Luke Fickell. That's the hope that most fans seem to be rooting for now, as this season is already lost.
