Big Ten Preview Week 11

This weekend has better match-ups but nothing crazy that will get the attention of the national media.  Let's go to the run down.  

IU @ #2 OSU (-40): The IU AD office really wishes they were put in the Big Ten West.   This one is going to be a first-round knockout.  OSU 51 IU 6

Purdue @ 21 Illinois (-6.5): This is an interesting game for the matrix that is the Big Ten West.  Michigan fans want Illinois to win, so they can have a better SOS if they were to beat the Illini next weekend.   Purdue is weird but like them in this one.  Purdue 21 Illinois 20

Rutgers @ MSU (-9.5): These are very similar teams; both like to play good defense and struggle on offense.  MSU has better WR's and Rutgers QB situation is a mess.  This is a must win for Sparty if they're going bowling.  MSU 27 Rutgers 17 

Maryland @ Penn State (-10): I thought Maryland could be special like 8-3 and give OSU a tough game in a week.  They can play good football at times, but looked pretty bad against Wisconsin last week and have a loss to Purdue.  Penn State is the better team and will win.  PSU 31 Maryland 24

Wisconsin (-1.5) @ Iowa: Intresting game in what used to be 2 Big Ten West powers.   Wisconsin doesn't play well on the road and Iowa's offense is terrible everywhere.  Don't expect a shootout.  Wisconsin 10 Iowa 7

Northwestern @ Minnesota (-17.5): No, thank you.  Not the Wildcats year.  Minnesota 31 NW 8

  • Cade looks to be officially done for the season as there was a picture of his leg in a hospital room, looking like he was going into surgery on his social media.


  • There was a MAC-action game last night between 2 former 5-minute Michigan assistants.  Coach Mo (who was here for 2 months) vs. Coach Mac (who was here for year): CMU beat Buffalo 31-27.
  • Nebraska's starting QB Casey Thompson is out against Michigan
