There are 5 Big Ten games this weekend and I'm really struggling to find one that is even somewhat interesting. Iowa has given OSU trouble in C-Bus the past few trips, but do we really expect that to happen this year? Wisconsin is probably better then #25 in the country and they have to travel to Illinois.
Big Ten Game of the Week:
Pass
The rest of the games:
Minnesota at Northwestern: Jerry Kill is not back yet and Northwestern has lost back to back Big Ten games. Northwestern is a bit beat up but will spread Minnesota out and probably score 50 points. The Wildcats are only a 12 point favorite. I like the points in this one. Northwestern 48 Minnesota 17 WGFM: Minnesota Win
Iowa at Ohio State: Iowa is getting better and really needs a "highlight win" which they probably have circled 11/23 when the Wolverines come to town. Both teams are coming off a bye, which helps Ohio State more the Hawkeyes. The Buckeyes are -17 in this one. Iowa 13 OSU 28
WGFM: OSU win (because Iowa is in our division)
Purdue at MSU: The biggest question is will Purdue score against MSU top ranked defense. Probably not as MSU is a 27.5 favorite. The Spartans offense is starting to come alive, right before the Wolverines make a trip to East Lansing. MSU 27.5 Purdue 0
WGFM: Purdue Win
Wisconsin at Illinois: Illinois is coming off a bye and Wisconsin is coming off a big win against Northwestern. I think Illinois keeps this close but not close enough as the Badgers running game will run over Illinois. Wisconsin is nearly a two TD favorite at 13.5. Wisconsin 27 Illinois 17
WGFM: Wisconsin win is good for the league
