Capital One Bowl Betting Matchup
One of the premier non-BCS bowl games, the Capital One Bowl should bring two dynamic programs to the New Year’s Day event again this season.
With the No. 2 teams in the powerful Big Ten and SEC scheduled to hook up, it should be a marquee matchup like the Auburn-Wisconsin tilt in the last Capital One Bowl.
The Badgers gave Coach Barry Alvarez one final victorious moment before he stepped down after 16 seasons. While Wisconsin ranked only 41st in rushing, you wouldn’t have known it watching tailback Brian Calhoun rip through the Auburn defense for more than 200 yards in the 24-10 victory.
Calhoun led the nation with 21 rushing touchdowns and added another in the Capital One Bowl. Auburn was expected to decline following its undefeated season last year but the Tigers surprised many by beating Georgia and Alabama. The emergence of running back Kenny Irons was one of the reasons Auburn finished 9-2, but they were stymied by a surprisingly tough Badger defense in getting shut out in the first half.
