    Default Early Big 10 leans,

    1. LOVE WISCONSIN in this spot at +1. I really think the line may be Badgers -3 by kickoff. 34-3 in their last 37 at Camp Randall, played OK at Ohio State, just 2 bad turnovers and a punt return TD devastated their chances of winning (and me covering). Iowa looked brutal in wins over NIowa and Ark St and unimpressive in beating a Michigan team that turned it over 4 times and still had a shot to win. That Penn State win is impressive, but do we really know how good Penn State is? They have played one good team, at home, and lost.

    2. Northwestern +12 at Michigan State. The Wildcats have done nothing very impressive this year. However, MSU has injury issues at RB and QB. Their spread offense has given MSU trouble over the past 5 years. Waiting to hear on injury news at MSU.........

    3. Illinois -3 at Indiana. 2 bad football teams. If Juice Williams gets the start and plays, they win and cover. Look at the Indiana scores outside the Michigan game....they are a mess.

    * No real lean on Ohio State or Penn State games yet.....

    the wisconsin game will defiently be a good one, ill be there for my first game at camp randall. but im going to have to disagree with you on that pick.

    Northwestern is probably the biggest disapointment in the big 10 this year, i dont think im going to touch that game but 12 is a lot.

    im liking the illinois play. they have to show up some time

    my big 10 play of the week is ohio state at -13. purdue gets trounced in this and this line should move at least a couple points. good luck this week, except for the first pick.

    Have a great time on your first trip to Badger land. I will see your Hawkeyes at our place for a rare Saturday night game in East Lansing.

    Penn State and Illinois look good. Still, hard for me to wager good money on Ron Zook. Illinois has played a pretty tough schedule and they will need this win badly. Wisconsin and Northwestern I will probably stay away from. If MSU had their full compliment of running backs I would likely lay the points. NW had trouble last week with a god awful Miami (OH) team. They gave up 128 yards on the ground. Can you imagine what State would do with Winston in the backfield?...that injury looked bad though. What's the news on him MSU?

    HOw can anyone wager on a road team that has not defeated a FBS team and GIVE points. Williams and Illinois are terrible this year. They have no chance at going anyplace at the end of the season. I will take the home team that still has anoutside chance of a monor bowl apperance at the end of the year, especially if I am getting 3 points. We took Indiana at +3. The line is down to 2 now, and falling.

    Indiana was down 44-0 to Virginia. Look at the scores of their first 3 games. Indiana is worse and that will be proven on Saturday.

    Coug, Winston has an ACL and is out for the year. Caper should be healthy by Saturday.
