MP, I can't believe the line is so close on OSU/MSU....

OSU, is not a good team, last week they got 14 points off int.return td & punt ret. td... OSU is horrible on the road!
MICH ST. almost beat MICH @MICH, which they had been getting blasted last 5 visits to MICH..
MICH ST. has big numbers on O (last 2 @ home they scored 51&38) & OSU has slight edge on D.
I look for MSU winning this game (the BIG TEN CONFERENCE has an awesome home record this year), by 12+ points !!!!
You must be able to find a better game to add to your tease!

GL TO YOU!

gl ... like all of those picks ... letdown for Indiana after Minnesota win, Penn State might be one of the worst teams in the nation and Ohio State one of the most over-rated and Wisconsin dominates!!! good picks

I personally like the OSU play. Yeah, OSU offense is'nt doing much right now, however, Mich St coming off a CRUSHING defeat....they had the game won and it slipped away. I think its VERY hard to bounce back after losing a game like that. Also the loss of QB Stanton isnt going to help MSU cause.

GL whatever you play.

I believe that all of those teams are going to win without the extra help, so I guess I agree.


I crossed Northwestern off my list, but the extra 7 you get as a cushion makes it a solid play IMO.

Like all of them except Ohio St....Take a look at Michigan States last few games.

-They had Michigan blown out and were moving the ball on them all day.

-Absolutely smashed Minnesota at home, after losing to Iowa by 20.

-Were much closer with Iowa then the score indicates. (I was at the game)

They have improved tremendously since the Notre Dame game.

Ohio St. has no offense and has no chance in this game.

MSU may be crushed by the loss last week, but they'll take it out on OSU.

heres what I think:

-Illinois has won the past four meetings vs. Indiana at home. Indiana is 1-4 this year on the road. Illini should win a close one.
Prediction: Illinois 31 Indiana 27

-Wisconsin's defense is simply overpowering. With a dominating defense and ball control offense, facing a team on your home turf that has been embarassed as of late is no problem. Prediction: Wisconsin 27 Minnesota 19

-Northwestern has proved they are a legit team. Basanez is a good quarterback that can put up points. Penn State has a tough defense. THATS ABOUT IT. When you cant put points on the board, you dont win. I expect a close game, Penn State could even pull it out, but they arent going to win any games in the near future by double digits given their horrible offense. Northwestern 23 Penn St. 20

-OSU has been re-energized with Troy Smith at QB and the explosive play of Ted Ginn. They will become bowl eligible with a win, something VERY important in Buckeye country. MSU is coming off a crushing defeat to instate rival Michigan. They lost their leader, QB Drew Stanton, to a seperated shoulder and will have Dowdell start in his place. I think this game could go either way, but the Buckeyes and Tressel really need this one and should pull it out. OSU 30 MSU 24
