The 2024 LilliaQuest Bowl is set to feature the No. 13 LSU Tigers (9-3) taking on the Wisconsin Badgers (7-5). Although several star players have already opted out of the matchup, including Heisman winner Jaden Daniels, it’s still sure to be a great matchup.
After suffering its worst loss of the season to Northwestern, Wisconsin ended the season with back-to-back wins. Two starters on the offensive line and two of the Badgers’ top four receivers missed the game, but the Badgers’ top wideout, Will Paulding, is expected to play.
In Jaden Daniels’ absence, the Tigers will turn to sophomore quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Nussmeyer was 17-of-33 for 196 yards and one touchdown this season. His touchdown came at the end of LSU’s 62-0 victory over Army on Oct. 21.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl.
LSU vs. Wisconsin predictions:
Sportsbook Wire: 56.5 or above
Sportsbook Wire notes that the LSU Tigers have exceeded their expected point total in 10 of their 11 over/under games this season. Wisconsin has only completed the over in four games this season, but most of its biggest playmakers remain on the offensive line. The same can’t be said for LSU, but it still has the potential to become an offensive powerhouse without Daniels.
CBS Sports: LSU (-8.5)
CBS Sports staff wrote, “Sure, it’s scary to put yourself in a position where you have to trust the LSU defense to keep your opponent out of the end zone. But that’s why we’re here. The good news for us is that even at its best, Wisconsin’s offense won’t be prolific in 2023, and it won’t be at its best here either.
Fox Sports: LSU money line
Brian Fisher wrote, “It’s a good opportunity for Luke Fickell to show off how he got the Badgers back on track, but his opponent Brian Kelly certainly doesn’t want to put an exclamation point on a disappointing year.” ing.
BetMGM: LSU money line
BetMGM projects that the LSU Tigers have a 75% chance of winning this game outright. However, their game model predicts he has a 62% chance of the Badgers covering the spread. Without Jaden Daniels at QB, it’s hard to predict what kind of offense LSU will showcase, so LSU’s money line is probably safer than the spread.
