Big Ten Preview: Week 9

What a stinker for a Big Ten weekend match-up preview.  UCLA is the top Big Noon game and the Instate rivalry of Michigan - MSU tops the NBC game of the week. On to the show:


UCLA @ IU (-26.5):  I love UCLA's turnaround but that comes to a halt this week.  IU 51 UCLA 14 

Northwestern @ Nebraska (-8.5): Both of these teams are 5-2?  That seems strange to me.  Nebraska just got embarrassed by PJ Fleck and Matt Rhule wants the Penn State job?  Nebraska 24 Northwestern 14

Rutgers (-1.5) @ Purdue: Not sure this is a watchable game.  I think Purdue sneaks one out here.  Purdue 28 Rutgers 21. 

Illinois @ Washington (-3.5): Both of these teams are 5-2? Illinois is ranked again? I guess this is a good game.  Will Illinois get the travel west cold and not show up and play?  I like UW after the Michigan loss as Illinois travel west.  UW 31 Illinois 20 

Minnesota @ Iowa (-8.5): Both of these teams are 5-2? This could be a good game.  Iowa plays great defense and Minnesota plays well at home.  This game is at Iowa.   Iowa 21 Minnesota 14

Wisconsin @ Oregon (-31.5):  Do not watch this game.  It will be ugly and it will be amazing if Luke gets through this year in this role.  Oregon 61 Wisconsin 6
