Quarterback Jayden Daniels (5) as the LSU Tigers take on Texas A&M in Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, November 25, 2023.
The 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl is ready to go as the No. 13 LSU Tigers (9-3) get ready to take on the Wisconsin Badgers (7-5). While several stars have already opted out of this matchup, including Heisman winner Jayden Daniels, this is still sure to be a great game.
Wisconsin won back-to-back games to end the season after suffering their worst loss of the season to Northwestern, and while two starters on the offensive line as well as two of the Badgers’ top four receivers have opted out of this game, the Badgers top wideout, Will Paulding, is expected to play.
In the absence of Jayden Daniels, the Tigers will turn to sophomore quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. Nussmeier went 17-of-33 for 196 yards and a touchdown on the season. His touchdown came at the end of LSU’s 62-0 win over Army on October 21.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 ReliaQuest Bowl.
Predictions for LSU vs. Wisconsin:
Sportsbook Wire: Over 56.5
Sportsbook Wire points out that the LSU Tigers have gone over their projected point total in 10 of 11 games with an over/under this season. While Wisconsin has only hit the over in four of their games this season, they have kept most of their biggest playmakers on offense. The same cannot be said for LSU, but they still have the potential to be an offensive powerhouse without Daniels.
CBS Sports: LSU (-8.5)
The CBS Sports staff writes, “Yes, it’s terrifying to put yourself in a position where you need to trust the LSU defense to keep an opponent out of the end zone, but that’s where we find ourselves here. The good news for us is, even at full strength, Wisconsin’s offense hasn’t been prolific in 2023, and it won’t be at full-strength here.”
