FSU over Wisconsin by 10 in bowl game

OK, so it’s the holidays and FSU is playing football again. All is perfect, right?
Florida State, 8-4, is favored by the odds makers to beat Wisconsin, 7-5, by 5 or 6 points in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando Saturday. I think it will be more like 10. Kickoff is officially scheduled for 4:30 p.m.
Wisconsin has a losing conference record and I place a lot of value on how you play against the quality teams in your own big-time conference. FSU was a play or two away – really one – away from playing for an ACC title.
Wisconsin will also be playing without senior linebacker Jonathan Casillas, a three-year starter, who is injured and recently underwent surgery.
FSU’s very young offensive line and first-year quarterback got better as the season went along.
The FSU team at the end of the season was so much better than the one at the beginning, and that tells you something about just how good the Gators are right now.
In any event, regardless of the outcome, you’ll find the most complete coverage of the game here on Tallahassee.com, Nolesports.com and in the Tallahassee Democrat.
