Big Ten Week 2 Preview

Tonight the NFL season kicks off, so no college games until Friday night.  The NFL also has a Friday game as they want to own pretty much every day of the week during the season.  


Friday Night:

Western Illinois @ Indiana (No line):  So Vegas doesn't want to touch this game?  Should be a classic.  IU 40 WIU 6

Duke @ Northwestern (-2.5):  Northwestern's makeshift stadium has million dollars lake views.  Which you won't see at night.   I call this the SAT Bowl every year.  I think Duke wins a close one.  Duke 17 NW 14

Saturday:

Bowling Green @ Penn State (-35):  Could this be the MAC Big Ten weekend?  I guess Warde didn't get the memo.   PSU 48 BGSU 20

Rhode Island @ Minnesota (No line): Wow, this is a really bad game.  Minnesota 38 RI 7

Akron @ Rutgers (-22.5): MAC - Big Ten Weekend Game 2, Rutgers 31 Akron 14

Iowa State @ Iowa (-3): What happened to Matt Campbell, I thought he was the next big thing?  I'm wondering if either team will score points.  Iowa 12 ISU 10

Michigan State @ Maryland (-8.5):  What is this?  A Week 2 Big Ten game! MSU struggled late against FAU but won, Maryland had a laugher.  Maryland 31 MSU 21

EMU @ Washington (-24.5): Game 3 of MAC - Big 10 Weekend!  EMU is no pushover and Washington will win but struggle.  Wash 24 EMU 14

South Dakota @ Wisconsin (No line) Vegas must of lost a ton of money on Week 1.  Wisconsin 31 SDU 14

Kansas (-5.5) @ Illinois:  Kansas is supposed to be good this season.  Illinois will be tough to beat at home.  Illinois 20 Kansas 18

Western Michigan @ Ohio State (-38):  MAC - Big Ten Weekend Game 4.  OSU 48 WMU 7

Colorado @ Nebraska (-7.5): I don't think Coach Prime's defense is going to hold up on the road.  Nebraska 20 Colorado 10

Boise State @ Oregon (19.5):  I like BSU and the points.  Oregon 31 BSU 20

Utah State @ USC (-28.5): The Trojans had a big win on Sunday and now will play into Sunday morning EST as this is a 11:00 PM EST kick.   USC 44 USU 10

I will miss Brady2017's comments ... but to state he knows more than anybody else is childlike. Only people in the know are the coaches, and players fighting for playing time. EVEN Harbaugh used to rate 100% on what is going on now only rates around a 75% ... and will drop as the months go by .... it's a risk to post, because you get flack. Myself, I fought a few battles on this sight ... it's the internet Brady ....and you should continue to post.

He's reading the comments, he's just not going to post for a bit. If you have enough hubris to say you know more about football than anyone else, you HAVE to know what people are saying about you! It's an ego think.

And look we all have BS takes from time to time. It's what makes sports fun. it's emotional, and from time to time we all let our emotions get the best of us and post stuff that if we'd of taken a little longer to reflect, we'd go "yeah, don't think I'll post that".

So Warde came out and verified that Sherrone doesn't have a contract to be the head coach at Michigan. I haven't been able to verify, but also heard 3rd party that the only Michigan assistant that's under contract is Wink as he wouldn't of took the job without one. Just makes you wonder if a shoe is about to drop and maybe Moore was just a scapegoat placeholder???? Is it a BS take on my part? Possibly, but something to think about!

That could be true. He was the feel-good hire. He was hired without us even looking around.

I've been doing on burgers on the grill for decades now. I know all there is to know about burgers on the grill. I definitely know more than all y'all about burgers! Cuz I say so! So don't you dare question my burger prowess or knowledge, just be grateful you have access to it, say thank you and be on your way! ....that's about the same ridiculousness as the "I was a coach"...nonsense. you're just another a-hole with an opinion, no better no worse. well, maybe worse since you think you're better.
