Wisconsin opens Friday as a huge, 36¹/₂-point favorite at home vs. Western Kentucky. But the Badgers’ win total is a far-more-manageable 9¹/₂, which many bettors are jumping on to the tune of -200 to the Over.

Jonathan Taylor, who rushed for 1,977 yards last season, will lead one of the nation’s most explosive offenses. Nine starters return on that side of the ball, including improving junior quarterback Alex Hornibrook.

The play: The Badgers avoid Ohio State in the regular season, and anything fewer than 10 wins would be a disappointment for Paul Chryst, who is 34-7 at the school. Wisconsin Over 9¹/₂.
