Big Ten Week 9 Previews

With all the NCAA news breaking, I all most forgot to give you the most anticipated post of the week.  My thrilling Big Ten Preview.   I know, it's exciting.   Which is just the opposite of the Big Ten match ups this weeks.   Not one good match up.  That's right not one. 

On to the show........................

Minnesota at Michigan State:  Not much to say it this one.  It's the Big Ten's last place vs the Big Ten's first place team.  MSU got embarrassed at Iowa after MSU's head coach allowed a player to leave a jail cell and step right into practice and play on Saturday.  Sometimes karma is a B*tch, right coach?  Back to the game.  This one won't be close and the Spartans are a 24 point favorite.   MSU 42 Minn 10


Iowa at Indiana:  I am officially off the IU train.  Michigan has made them out to be something they are not the last two years.  Here is another game that won't be close with Iowa favored by 17 points.  I expect Iowa to be a bit asleep early since this game comes after the Michigan, Wisconsin, and MSU stretch.   It will be closer then we think.  Iowa 28  IU 17


Wisconsin at Purdue:  Wow, here is another miss match.   Purdue is struggling without a healthy QB and  made news this week as Danny Hope complained about Zook running up the score on the Boilermakers last week.   The last Big Ten head coach that made a statement like that was Tim Brewster against Wisconsin and now Tim is out of a job.    I sure hope The Badgers keep it within 30 points.  Wisconsin is favored by 20.  Wisconsin 38 Purdue 3.  Can you ever get enough of this guy?  I can't

Northwestern at Penn State:  This is the most even match up of the weekend.  Penn State is coming off an impressive offensive performance against Michigan's dazed and confused defense last weekend.  Northwestern got by Indiana 20-17 to get to 6-2 this year.  This game could be JoPa's 400th win and the reason it's the 3:30 game.   This game will be really close since Northwestern is a bit under rated and Penn State after last week might be a bit over rated.  JoPa is favored by 6 points. Northwestern 30  Penn State 24 


I will preview the Illinois at Michigan game on Friday.
