Idle:
Minnesota
Nebraska

Michigan @ Michigan State (Michigan)
Until somebody stops Denard, nobody will stop Denard. Whoa... That was deep.

Purdue @ Penn State (Penn State)
Penn State is playing good football right now, and should take care of business against he Boilers.

Indiana @ Wisconsin (Wisconsin)
Do the Badgers play any road games anymore? Bucky wins big.

Ohio State @ Illinois (Illinois)
Illinois finds ways to win. Ohio State finds ways to lose. Fickle gets Zooked

Northwestern @ Iowa (Iowa)
The Hawkeyes take advantage of a poor Wildcat defense.

Had I picked my team, I would have went undefeated. In any case, it is almost a dead heat!

Week#6 Predictions

No time for big descriptions this week.  On to the picks!

 

Minnesota @ Purdue (Minnesota)

 

Minnesota is inconsistent.  Purdue is consistent but is not that good.  I am going with Purdue at home. 

 

 

 

Illinois at Indiana (Illinois)

 

Illinois is playing good football right now.  Indiana is lacking, but did put on a good performance against Penn State.  I'll go with the Chief. 

 

 

 

Iowa @ Penn State (Iowa)

 

Iowa has owned my Nits.  Penn State has a great defense, but I think offensively they are broken mainly due to poor coaching and decision making.  I am going with the Hawks.

 

 

 

Michigan @ Northwestern (Michigan)

I think this game will be a SHOOT OUT!!!  If Northwestern had any semblance of a defense, I would go with the upset pick.  However, Northwestern has nothing even resembling a Big Ten defense.  Michigan wins.

 

 

 

Ohio State @ Nebraska (Nebraska)

 

Though I am still waiting for Nebraska to show up to last week's game versus the Badgers, I don't think Ohio State even knows there is a football season going on.

Week #5 Review

I took doubted Wisconsin and Russel Wilson.  I was wrong and am now tied in points with ESPN blogger Brian Bennett.  I feel like I have a much better feeling on the teams now.
