There really is only one Big Ten football game this weekend. Though, some teams are still trying to get that important 6th win so they can have two more weeks of practice and play an exhibition game.
Black Friday Corn Game: Iowa @ Nebraska (-2.5) - Hold on here, Iowa has one of the best defenses in the country, has locked on the Big Ten West, #16 in rankings, and is a road dog to Nebraska? The Corn game or whatever they call this one, could be significant for a number of reasons. 1 - Nebraska needs a 6th win to go bowling and 2- there are rumors that Kirk Ferentz might be retiring after the season. The O/U is a laughable 26.5 points. Iowa 13 Nebraska 9
Black Friday Night Game: Penn State (-21) vs. MSU at Ford Field: This is an NBC got pissed game that the Big Ten has a rule about not playing late in the season primetime games. So Penn State and MSU did Tony Macaroni a favor and scheduled this one at Ford Field. It won't be close and will be Harlon's last game in East Lansing (unless the new HC hires him): PSU 31 MSU 14
Indiana Bowl: IU @ Purdue (-3.5): How is the state of Indiana doing with football in the Big Ten this season? Both teams are 3-8 and their seasons come to an end on Saturday. Purdue 21 IU 20
Illinois Bowl: Northwestern @ Illinois (-5.5): The surprise of the Big Ten this year is that Northwestern found a way to bowl eligibility. The second biggest surprise is Illinois has yet to. Northwestern 17 Illinois 14
Wisconsin (-2.5) @ Minnesota: The Golden Gophers are not bowl eligible and will be playing a beat up Wisconsin team. PJ is the king of under acheivement and Luke Fickell's first year has been a disaster. Minnesota 24 Wisconsin 20
Maryland (-1) @ Rutgers: Both of these teams played Michigan tough during the season and lost both games. Rutgers is a good first half team and Maryland plays better in the 2nd half. Maryland has a better QB. Both teams will be in a bad bowl game exhibitions. Maryland 28 Rutgers 24

Today, the day before the big Michigan/Ohio St game, the main headline on the Detroit News is an in depth profile of Connor Stallions. Not Jim Harbaugh, not a profile on the rivalry, not Blake Corum, not Donovan Edwards, not Mike Saninristill, not any of the current members of the back to back B1G Champion Michigan Wolverines. Proof that all of the media are pond scum.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Michigan basketball plays tonight at 6 in the island tournament on the Woke Network. Go Blue tonight and tomorrow!! UM 26, O$U 24
