Recent betting data for NFL Week 6 and Week 7 indicates a notable trend of high interest in underdog selections. During Week 6, consensus picks showed unusual popularity for underdogs, specifically highlighted by a 74% consensus on the Chargers +8 spread against the Chiefs. By Week 7, this trend continued with significant betting activity favoring underdogs such as the New York Giants, Kansas City Chiefs, and Indianapolis Colts. In college football, the unranked Wisconsin Badgers secured a 24-7 upset victory over No. 16 USC at Camp Randall Stadium. The win, which improves Wisconsin to 5-2 overall and 3-1 in Big Ten play, was driven by a dominant defensive performance that held the Trojans to a season-low seven points and negative 17 rushing yards. The Wisconsin defense also recorded five sacks and a blocked field goal by Junior Poyser, limiting USC to 241 total yards. USC quarterback Jayden Maiava threw two interceptions during the contest. Wisconsin’s scoring included a 5-yard touchdown run by Bryan Jackson, a former USC player, and a 16-yard touchdown pass from Colton Joseph to Chris Brooks Jr. Despite a limited offensive output of 200 total yards, the Badgers controlled the clock for over 32 minutes. The loss marks the lowest scoring output in head coach Lincoln Riley’s career, dropping USC to a 6-2 overall record. Following the game, Riley expressed disappointment, stating the team failed to play well on all three sides of the ball and made critical errors. Analysts have noted increasing pressure on Riley as USC prepares to face No. 3 Ohio State, while Wisconsin prepares to play No. 15 Iowa.
