40 DIMER - WISCONSIN.....10 DIMERS - BOWLING GREEN, & MINNESOTA
40 DIMER - WISCONSIN BADGERS - 3:30 PM

Just too many points today at the Horseshoe for the Buckeyes to comfortably cover.

Last year the Badgers held Tyrelle Pryor to 164 yards of total offense, and while Pryor is improved, the Bucks are still erratic on offense and I don't see them pulling away.

Wisconsin comes in at 5-0 straight up, and QB Scott Tolzien has done a solid job putting up some nice numbers, while RB John Clay has also been doing damage with his legs. That combination should be just enough to keep Wiscy within earshot against an OSU team that is just 2-5 against the spread their last 7 as a home favorite.

The Badgers lost a tough one 20-17 last season to the Buckeyes at Camp Randall, so expect a fired-up effort today in Columbus.

The points work!

10 DIMER - BOWLING GREEN FALCONS - 3:30 PM

Bowling Green hasn't won since opening week when they handled Troy with ease. That fact win change today, as Kent is the perfect foe for the Falcons at Dix Stadium.

The points haven't worked for the Golden Flashes, especially at home where they are 5-13-1 against the spread their last 19 at home!

Bowling Green won last year 45-30, and owns the series 54-16. Kent State only beat 0-5 Miami University by 10 points. The combined score of their other 4 games, 175-39! The Falcons have lost 4 in a row, but each game was winnable (except Boise State) and the combined records of those teams is 15-4 (at Missouri, Boise State, at Marshall, and Ohio).

The line on this one has been all over the board, and I am not sure why? I am sure that Bowling Green is going to notch their 2nd win, and do so convincingly.

10 DIMER - MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS - 12:00 PM

Both teams are off tough losses, but Purdue's loss to Northwestern may take the cake, as the Boilers turned it over 5 times in a 17-minute span to blow a 21-3 lead against the Wildcats!

That made it 4 straight losses for the Boilermakers, while Minnesota is at least 3-2 straight up this year.

Expect the turnovers to continue for Purdue, as last year Minnesota had 4 takeaways in a 17-6 win in West Lafayette.

Home-cooking in the new stadium comes through in this one, as the Golden Gophers are a TD better than the Boilermakers in this Big 10 battle.
