Michigan State -28 vs. Indiana
Sparty avenged their 2010 demons and then some on Saturday in Iowa City, dominating the Hawkeyes for a convincing win. MSU still controls their own destiny in the Big Ten Legends Division. With a win over the Hoosiers and a Wolverine win over Nebraska, Michigan State will secure the division. A Husker win along with a Spartan win, will require MSU to win at Northwestern to finish the season. Kirk Cousins was on top of his game with 260 yds/3 TDs and Le’Veon Bell went for over 100 yards rushing and a score. The defense turned the Hawkeyes over 3 times and his currently ranked 8th in the country, only giving up 16.5 points per contest. Freshmen QB Tre Roberson has taken over for IU, who is 0-6 in Big Ten play. Expect a Sparty win, but consider taking the Hoosiers at the points.
Michigan -3.5 vs. Nebraska
Nebraska won in State College last week, in what had to be one of the weirdest scenes in college football history. Martinez and Burkhead got loose on the ground and pulled the win 17-14. UM knocked off Illinois as RB Fitzgerald Toussaint broke out with 192 yards and a TD. Wolverine Nation got to see sophomore Devin Gardner take some meaningful snaps when Denard Robinson went down with a mild injury. The sophomore played well and I’d expect to see him get on the field against Nebraska considering Robinson’s inability to consistently pass the ball. Coach Brady Hoke has to be happy with his top 5 defense and I expect them to control the Husker offense. Nebraska is a different team on the road and Michigan is better than Penn State. UM covers.
Ohio State -7 vs. Penn State
The first road trip in the post-Paterno era is bound for Columbus and the Horseshoe. The Nittany Lions largely handled the emotions of last week well, but came up short in the end dropping their first Big Ten game. Things don’t get easier with a date with the Buckeyes followed by a trip to Wisconsin to finish out the season. PSU is still in control of the Big Ten Leaders division, but the sentiment is that the Badgers will be in the title game. Ohio State has been difficult to figure out as they lost in OT in West Lafayette last week. The Buckeye offense’s inability to score has led to their inconsistent season. The good news for OSU is that Penn State can relate to inconsistent offense. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a OSU win here, but I like PSU and the points.
NC State +8 vs. Clemson
The 7th ranked Tigers bounced back from their only loss of the season, with a narrow win over Wake Forest. The win locked up the ACC Atlantic Division for the Tigers who still have their sights set on a BCS payday. QB Tajh Boyd threw for 343 yds/2 TDs, but kept the Deacons in the game with his 2 INTs. NC State lost to lowly Boston College last week and has been a tough team to figure out. In this one though, it won’t matter which Wolfpack team shows up as Clemson will roll.
