Rutgers won again over Maryland

Talent's Michigan play finally paid off! Proving once again that backing Michigan against the Goofer is as sure a play as backing Dantonio against Michigan. At least Minnehaha is still our bitch.

I actually finished 5-2! Off to the sunny side of the street!

I’ll go with M to win something like 27-10

Huzzah for a good take on 1 of 7 games!

I think Iowa is going to beat Wisconsin in Madison this Saturday. Wisconsin will be facing the first good team, Iowa, they have played in 2017.

Iowa is good ..... under the right circumstances. Can they repeat the classic gang rape not inside Kinnick against the opponent they just bounced out of the CFP playoff race? That same team, osu, would likely annihilate Wisconsin in any venue? YMMV.

osu fans are only now beginning to recover (see talent's return to posting) from the historic beating that the fighting chicken hawks laid on them.

5-2 last week finally sends me on over to the sunny side of the street! 40-38-1.

Indiana (-8 ) at Illinois. Peyton Ramsey's injury has forced the Hoosiers to go back to Dick Lagow. They're just not as good with him as they are with Ramsey. I'm not sure if Ramsey will back to do battle against Lovie, and getting B10 injury information is next to impossible. I'll assume he is not. With Lagow IU will score and make mistakes. That makes it a tough call. I'm going to go against all commonsense and back the Illini. I think I'm like 0-13 backing them this year, so....I'm due!

Michigan State (+17') at Ohio State. This is the stupidest line I've ever seen. Ever. I think it's a coin toss game. I'd 100% take Sparty +3'. So, umm, yeah. Sparty is the easiest pick of the season. Winner should win the B10 East.

Rutgers (+31) at Penn State. I'm not sure how Penn State picks themselves up after the last two weeks, but I am sure that Rutgers is good for what ails ya. However, Ash's boys have been showing surprising spunk. They aren't quite the same tomato can they were last year. I'm going to back the team that is starting to believe against the team that has lost everything. I'll take the points in HV. God help me.

Nebraska (+2') at Minnesota. The Goofers are a really flawed team. Their defense is, at best, ok, and their offense is, at best, bad. Demery Croft makes little baby Joe Montana cry. It's almost inconceivable, but Goofer fans are longing for the days of Bitch Leidner. UNL's offense can at least move the ball. They'll fuck up left and right, but I have confidence they can score a bit. So, I'll Team Husker on the road for the outright win.

Iowa (+12) at Wisconsin. I'm going Good Badger/Bad Badger, and it's the latter this week. Which is good, because that lines up with where I am in this game. Iowa won't play a team as completely unprepared as they did last week -- probably ever again. But, still, Iowa is a tough out. They lost to PSU on the last play of the game, lost by 7 at Sparty and by 7 at NW. I expect another 17-10 type score here. I'll back the Ferentz Brothers all day.

Michigan (-17) at Maryland. This is another no-brainer. M is starting to coming into their own, and Maryland is playing Buchanan at QB. Peters and the running game is enough to score 30, and that's 10 points more than I need. HARBAUGH!!!! super easy.

Purdue (+4') at Northwestern. I can't figure out either team, nor do I care to try. I guess Purdue has consistently exceeded my expectations. So, I'll finally hop aboard the train and back the Boiler. Get Right With Brohm!

[froot loops]

If Buchanan is getting the surprise start at QB, M is in for a rude awakening. He knows all of their weaknesses video Fancy Stats.

LOL!

[Hannibal]

Is OSU really favored by 17 over MSU? I think that's the dumbest line for an MSU game (outside of when they play M) that I haver ever seen.

[hack]

Insane line.

[Hannibal]

I still like OSU in that game but Sparty can uglify the shit out of any game this year and that one will not be pretty. I'm thinking 27-20 or something thereabouts.

[hack]

Agreed. Not a tossup. But 17 points is silly.
