Big Ten Preview Week 6

How is the world are we at the half way point of the season?  That is just crazy talk.  What else is crazy is we haven't seen Michigan play a complete game yet and Indiana doesn't have a loss.  Friday night Football Big 10 style continues this week.  

Friday Night:

MSU @ Oregon (-23.5): Sparty has to travel West as well this week as they get to play the Ducks at 9:00 on a Friday night.  The line seems a bit high but Vegas is waiting for the Ducks to exploded on the scoreboard.  Ducks 38 MSU 18

Saturday:

UCLA @ PSU (-27.5): Thank you Big Ten scheduler people for not having UCLA on Michigan's schedule this season.  You sure found a slot for USC, Oregon, and Washington.  I'm sure Warde wrote a sternly worded email to the league office that nobody replied to.  PSU 41 UCLA 13

Purdue @ Wisconsin (-14): Purdue is not good.  Wisconsin has losses against 2 blue bloods in Alabama and USC.  Wisconsin 24 Purdue 14

Iowa @ Ohio State (-20): Don't love this match-up for the Hawkeyes but this will be The Buckeyes first game against a real defense.  Hi Cade! OSU 28 Iowa 10

IU (-14) @ Northwestern: Maybe the Hoosiers get distracted by the Lake views?  IU 30 Northwestern 20

Rutgers @ Nebraska (-7):  Rutgers is also one of those Big Ten teams without a loss and travels to Corn Country to keep the streak alive.  I think Nebraska is the better team.  Nebraska 20 Rutgers 17

USC (-8) @ Minnesota:  This is the, We got outplayed by Michigan in the first half, but almost won the game Bowl.  A little wordy for a T-Shirt.  Did Minnesota find its grove in the 2nd half?  Did USC find its grove in the 2nd half against Wisconsin?  Maybe! USC 38 Minnesota 27

• Congratulations Detroit Tigers!  You actually got me to watch 3 innings of baseball yesterday. 

• I saw an online poll on MSN that was in strong favor of Tuttle being the Michigan starter.  I don't think Sherrone saw it.
