Wisconsin -14.5: The badgers come out this week fresh off of a bye week and face a northwestern team (also on a bye) that has beat two below average opponents (Nevada, Bowling Green). Their one loss comes @ duke by 24 pts, who is not in the same league as Wisconsin as far as size, speed and athleticism. Wisc has put up atleast 30 points in each of the three victories, although they havent faced the best competition i see this game being one sided, especially at camp randall.
Wisc 38 NW 17
Penn State -16.5: The nittany lions squeaked by at Iowa this weekend and showed that they can find a way to win even if its as time expires. Before this game they had given up 14 total points in three games, all at home. IU has faced Ohio st, and put up a good fight in the first half..then the better team showed up. This game has the potential to be very similar, except that its at Penn St not at home. I really like PSU at home this week bouncing back off a low scoring affair against Iowa. PSU 34 Indiana 13
MSU/Iowa O 45: This games line is definitely interesting after last weeks showdown between PSU and Iowa, i think vegas wants people to bite on Iowa..but might see some value in MSU at home after an emotional blow to the hawkeyes last week. I dont think i can touch the side...but what i do like is the ability to score the football in this one. MSU is coming off a bad loss at home against ND...and will be looking to capitilize on its 4th straight home before going to michigan and minny. Iowa as stated above might be emotionally exahusted after a heartbreaking loss, but i think they come out motivated and will put up more than the 19 they did against a much better defense. MSU 31 Iowa 24
ND/MIOH U 53.5: The most that MIOH has been able to put up so far has been 31 points against very average competition...ND is much better and different than their first four games (Marshall, Austin Peay, Cinci, Central Mich). I really dont see them being able to score the football much @ ND this week, ND has been in a dog fight against UGA, and won by 20 or more points away from home their last two game. ND rolls in this one IMO, they outcoach, and outplay an unproven MIOH team. ND 38 MIOH 10
Rutgers +29: This will be Ohio St's first game away from home in three weeks...yes its against a really bad rutgers ball team...but they did put up a good fight against nebraska last week covering the spread by 2.5, so there is a little bit of fight in this team. Ohio st is probably looking much farther ahead than this game, and wont be as solid as usual...OSU has proven they are good but not perfect by any means. OSU staff and players are eyeing the Oct 28th showdown against PSU and this one end up being lower scoring than it should be...similar to clemson last week. OSU 31 Rutgers 7
Bama -28: This team is simply dominant...yes 28 points is alot and i can see many people taking Ole miss because of past rivalries and close games. This year is different, the last game miss played they lost to an average cal team by 11 points...give me bama at home, they straight up dominate and their defense suffocates again. Bama 41 Miss 6
goodluck
