Capital One Bowl

Postby Eric » Thu Dec 29, 2005 1:25 pm

Auburn should win this game by a considerable margin. Wisconsin has been somewhat inconsistent. And something that I found suprising, Wisconsin ranks 100th in the nation in total defense! We've got a rushing attack for the Tigers that get 200 yards a game, while Wisconsin's run D isn't anything special. Wisconsin has a very good rushing attack, but Auburn has a very good defense, 9th in the country. Auburn just has to do what they've been doing lately, and they have this game.

BUT

I can't make a case for Wisconsin. Mismatch #2 of the bowl season (GT and Utah is #1).

My prediction, Auburn 38-13.
Running bowl/MSU/OSU record '05-present: 11-32

Auburn's too good

Wisconsin does have an amazing runningback, but I fully expect the tigers to destroy the badgers. This game is bad for ratings, most won't watch second half.

I agree this appears to be a mismatch on paper. Then again, I said Georia Tech would have no trouble with Utah. That qualifies as a big "Oops!" on my part.

I shouldn't do it but here goes:

My prediction: Auburn 42 Wisconsin 21

I too think this might be a little of a mismatch. Auburn (like a lot of other teams) seems to peek near the end of the year.

Auburn - 45
Wisconsin - 14
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

I think Wisconsin will keep it close in the first half, then Auburn will come out firing in the second half and will pull away big time.

My prediction: Auburn wins it 34-7.
Score at halftime: Auburn leads 10-7.
