Indiana at Rutgers
- RU -3.0, Over/ Under 48
Call me crazy but after hanging with Michigan and then nearly beating Maryland despite three wretched turnovers, I think these Hoosiers are kind of scrappy. I may want to remove the S from scrappy if this goes awry, but I’ll take the points because I think the Hoosiers pull off the win.
Iowa at Ohio State
- OSU –30.0 , O/U 49.5
Here’s the thing, Iowa’s defense could play really, really, really well and the Hawks could still lose this game 31-0. Expect Iowa to score a big fat zero against OSU’s talented defense. Give me the Bucks.
Northwestern at Maryland
- UM -14.0, O/U 51.0
This game is screaming STAY AWAY at you because Taulia Tagovailoa is a game-time decision. With him, the Terps should cover. Without him, anybody’s guess. I’m not risking it.
Minnesota at Penn State
- PSU -4.0, O/U 44.5
One off game is could be a fluke. Two is a trend. The Gophers have been god-awful in two straight losses. Penn State feeds off the White Out crowd to lay the hammer and win. If you want to get frisky, maybe even take the over if you think Penn State will dominate. Personally, I went 2-4 last week. I’m not chasing anything and will play it safe with the bet on PSU.
Purdue at Wisconsin
- UW -2.5, O/U 51.0
The Vegas lines are designed to create action, not be an accurate reflection of who will win. If they were a reflection on who will win, Purdue would be the favorite. PU has won four straight while Wisconsin has gone 1-3 in their last four. I know the Badgers are desperate for this win, but nothing over this last month indicates you can trust Wisconsin. The smart pick is Purdue. They should win outright and you’re getting points. Take that to the bank.
Bye Week:
Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, and Nebraska
