  • Opening point spread: LSU -10.5

  • Opening total: Over/Under 55 points scored
  • Time: Noon ET Monday, Jan. 1 (ESPN2)

UPDATE 11:15 A.M. ET MONDAY, JAN. 1: With kickoff 45 minutes out, LSU is 9.5-point chalk in BetMGM's college football bowl odds market. The Tigers opened -10.5 for the ReliaQuest Bowl, back on Dec. 3. LSU bottomed out at -7.5 (105) on Dec. 18 and over the past few days has toggled between -8.5/-9/-9.5.

Both teams have transfer-portal/opt-out issues, most notable with LSU QB and Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels sitting out.

Spread ticket count is 3/1 and spread money almost 5/1 on the Bayou Bengals. On the moneyline, tickets are dead even, but money is 3/1 on LSU.

"We need Wisconsin big in this game coming up," BetMGM trader Seamus Magee said.

The total mostly toggled between 55.5 and 54.5 this month, then starting climbing over the weekend. It went to 56.5 Saturday, 57.5 Sunday and 58 this morning. But it's two-way action, with 52% of tickets on the Under/59% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 11 P.M. ET FRIDAY, DEC. 8: LSU is easily the best 9-3 SU team in the nation. If Jayden Daniels hadn't gotten hurt in the fourth quarter at Alabama, the Tigers may well have won that Week 10 game. Instead, they lost 42-28.

LSU (8-4 ATS) bounced back by winning and cashing in its last three. The Tigers topped Texas A&M 42-30 laying 11.5 points in the regular-season finale.

Wisconsin (7-5 SU/4-6-2 ATS) won its last two games to land in the ReliaQuest Bowl. In Week 13, the Badgers beat Minnesota 28-14 giving 3 points on the road.

LSU has been fairly stable at -10.5 in Caesars' college football bowl odds market this week. The Tigers spent a few hours Tuesday at -10. The total is up a point to 56.

ReliaQuest Bowl Pick, Prediction

Action Network college football betting expert Collin Wilson offers this prediction:

The Tigers are one of the few teams that can lose a Heisman Trophy winner at quarterback and still have plenty of talent under center. Jayden Daniels is expected to opt out of the bowl game after winning the prestigious award, allowing Garrett Nussmeier to make his first start.

Now in his third season of backup duty, Nussmeier has displayed a cannon arm alongside a 15:7 big-time throw to turnover-worthy play rate.

Even with further opt-outs that include Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas at wide receiver, running back Logan Diggs should still overpower a Wisconsin defense that ranks 62nd in Line Yards.

The Badgers don't have the luxury of depth on offense, as running back Braelon Allen has opted out.

The top options at wide receiver are both in the portal after an uneventful season that saw quarterback Tanner Mordecai find the end zone just six times.

Pick:  LSU -10.5

ReliaQuest Bowl History

The ReliaQuest Bowl began in 1986 as the Hall of Fame Bowl (later the Outback Bowl, 1995-2022) and the matchup currently features schools from the Big Ten and the SEC. This game takes place at Raymond James Stadium from Tampa, Florida.

The SEC has gone 16-13 while the Big Ten owns an 13-17 record in the 32-year history of the bowl. The SEC had won three straight in this matchup but the Big Ten has captured the last two meetings, including the 2019 edition when Minnesota upset Auburn 31-24 as a seven-point underdog.

In 2021, the SEC picked up a 26-20 win, as Ole Miss upset Indiana as a touchdown 'dog while the 'under' connected. The SEC made it four straight wins in 2024 as LSU rallied to top Wisconsin, 35-31.
