Illinois at Purdue
Purdue -14.0, Over / Under 50
Not sure what Purdue will score so I’ll stay away from the over but I do know that whatever Purdue scores it will be at least two touchdowns more than what the Flailing Illini will put up. Take the Boilermakers.
Indiana vs Wisconsin
Wisconsin -11.5, O/U 50
Umm, what Indiana team has Vegas been watching? They continually crap the bed against top teams. Badgers roll and put up enough points alone to make that over toast.
Iowa vs Ohio State
Ohio State -17.5, O/U 56
With Iowa’s woeful offense, take the Buckeyes. OSU could score 21 points and still win the game by 21, that’s how bad the Hawkeyes are on that side of the ball. Personally, I see OSU hitting 42 points.
Maryland at Rutgers
Maryland -2.5, O/U 51
Eh, feels like a toss-up. Out of ten games I think Maryland wins 6…maybe 7 times so I’ll go with the Terps due to such a narrow spread.
Michigan vs Minnesota
Michigan -15.5, O/U 40
Damn, that is a low over to clear. Michigan will cover but will Minnesota contribute enough to get the over? I think Minnesota gets an easy score like a pick six or something and the final tally is 35-7.
Michigan State vs Penn State
PSU -9.0, O/U 46
My gut tells me Michigan State is playing with a very narrow margin of error and one of these days they are going to get blownout. Might not be this game but I feel it coming so I’ll hedge my bets and take the Nittany Lions to cover.
Nebraska vs Northwestern
Northwestern -1.0, O/U 55
Talk about a complete toss-up. I’ll go with the team not about to fire their coach. This also means I’m picking the team with the better QB and RB. Thanks for making this so easy, Northwestern. Wildcats get the W.
