Wisconsin vs Indiana - Wisconsin -11
Illinois vs Michigan St - Illinois 26
Purdue vs Notre Dame - Purdue -14
Northwestern vs Penn St - Northwestern 18
Michigan vs Minnesota - Michigan -10
Ohio St vs Iowa - Ohio St -7 |

That's the spirit! Use those spreads and make it interesting! Shoot, you could even do both!
Good first effort. I'm fairly certain Purdue is getting 14 and not giving them, though. Even with the points, I think we're going to take a pounding. I think Quinn is going to pick the secondary apart. Of course, if we can get pressure on the QB again this week, all of that could change...
BOILER UP!!!
I'm assuming your picks are for entertainment purposes only? |

I fully expect our Defensive front seven to get pressure on Quinn. Notre Dame has shown that their O-line has gone down a notch this year and Quinn does not respond well to pressure. It takes him about a half to get untracked if he ever does in the game. I am looking forward to this matchup to see how we stack up. I know our boilers will be jacked up for this game. Now show me how you use that energy. How do you respond to adversity in a big game? I know our secondary is suspect. But I don't think M State's dbacks are really any better and they were able to do enough to give ND fits. I know our defense will give up yards in bunches and thats ok with me provided they get key stops. Bend but don't break. We are going back to our 97, 98, 99 defensive philosphy.
The keys to the game are defensive pressure upfront, key big plays/stops by the defense and quarterback play. And the run game, ND is can be run on for sure. I expect to see more option in this game. |
