Lets get it started.....
Northwestern at Indiana- This is an intriguing game because I'm just waiting for the Indiana
offense to explode. Will CJ Bacher continue his hot streak and keep the Wildcats rolling? I see Northwestern struggling on the road but Bacher and Sutton prove too tall a task for a struggling Indiana secondary.Northwestern 38, Indiana 21
Minnesota at Purdue- What happens here? Does Curtis Painter continue to struggle and lose his teammates? Or does he respond to his running back Korey Sheets calling him out? Sheets has been solid all year long but he can't carry the whole team. Minnesota has been surprising all
year and they could already be destined for a loss as every team has following a bye week in the Big Ten this season. Quarterback Adam Weber has been able to lead the offense well all year and has been in control. The defense also looked strong against Illinois and forced turnovers to beat Illinois in Champaign. I think Purdue responds at home and Curtis Painter responds to adversity.Purdue 28, Minnesota 17
Illinois at Wisconsin- This game is a tough call because Wisconsin is capable of being a good team and they are always tough at Camp Randall. The issue is that they haven't been able to protect their home field this season. The Illini have been inconsistent all year and they looked spectacular against Indiana last weekend but who hasn't. Juice Williams is capable of beating
anyone anywhere but Wisconsin is hungry. The Illini have a lot of weapons and Jason Ford emerged as a solid running back last weekend. This game all depends on Wisconsin's defense as they have not played very well of late. I'm going with Wisconsin to finally get a Big Ten win because no way do they lose again at home and go 0-5 in the Big Ten.Wisconsin 28, Illinois 21
Michigan State at Michigan- The rivalry continues as Michigan State looks to prove they are a solid team after being dominated by Ohio State. Michigan is just looking to find their identity as they looked like they were capable of playing with Penn State for a half and then they just fell apart. I'm not saying they are even close to Penn State but still they were able to play
with them for a half. Michigan is at home and will be fired up for this game. The defense is strong and they must focus on stopping Javon Ringer. I'm not sure where to go with this one but I'll go with Michigan State just because I feel they are the better team.Michigan State 21, Michigan 17
Penn State at Ohio State- So it's down to the Big Game with so many implications on the line. The Big Ten Title a possible National Championship birth. This game looks to be a classic as the top defense of the Big Ten faces the top offense. Penn State's offense has been unstoppable and Ohio State is always tough on defense. However, I think Penn State's offense is better than USC's and has more weapons which could be a problem for Ohio State. Penn State also has a
solid defense but they have to face Chris "Beanie" Wells who always plays good in big games and Terrelle Pryor continues to impress me as he shows much more maturity than his age. The game is at Columbus but I see Penn State forcing a couple of costly turnovers that gives Penn State the victory.Penn State 38, Ohio State 27
Season Record: 28-11
