I took 21 points,… we win comfortably but the final score is enough to keep the board nicely frazzled

Long tails win out for me here, credit to Mr. Taleb.

Denbrock gets the boys rolling quickly. TDs on every first-half possession. Another Big 10 West defense gets exposed by a real offense. Aneyas looks like fellow Missourian Ezekiel Elliott going for 150+ on the ground as the Badger defense struggle: to contain our complimentary offense. Defense forces multiple turnovers, including one from the second unit. 52-6 Irish.

Voted 21-27 but I’m fearing a backdoor cover. I guess I’ll go 34-13. I think Wisconsin’s defense will be good enough to slow ND down to a couple field goals, and in that 34 I’m feeling a defensive or specials teams touchdown.

I think it'll be 31-10 if everything goes to script. I don't see out offense coming out of the gates and dropping 40+. On defense, Wisconsin simply does not have the horses to move the ball consistently, and the only way I see them getting more than 1 TD is broken plays / mistakes / turnovers.

It's hard to imagine Sconny scores more than 10 and their defense isn't stout enough to keep the offense down for too long. We should expect at least 2 Badger turnovers leading to extra points. ND 34 Sconny 10

38-13 Irish.
I like 38-10 more but I picked 21-27 so Wiscy’s kicker boots an improbable 61 yarder in scrub time with the help of a 15 mph tailwind.

31 - 7 Good Guys.

Slow start that does numbers for the game thread but a defensive TD gets the people going and up 17 - 0 at halftime. 31-0 going into the 4th and MF does Fickell a solid in garbage time.

I don't see ND scoring less than 34 or more than 45. And I don't see Wisconsin scoring less than zero (sarc) or more than 13. So I'll go with ND 41-10.
