B1G week five games
« on: September 25, 2023, 11:03:27 AM »
Ohio State and Wisconsin have the week off while Minnesota and Rutgers are playing cupcake home games. The other ten are playing each other. Sorted by size of line:

  • Illinois +2 at Purdue 3:30 Peacock
  • Minnesota -10 vs Louisiana noon BTN
  • Michigan State +11.5 at Iowa 730 NBC
  • Indiana +14 at Maryland 330 BTN
  • Michigan -17 at Nebraska 330 Fox
  • Penn State -26.5 at Northwestern noon BTN
  • Rutgers (no line) vs Wagner 330 BTN

Only one single-digit spread? Seems like a week weekend.

National ranked vs ranked games:
  • #10 Utah +3 at #19 Oregon State Friday 9pm, FS1
  • #24 Kansas +17 at #3 Texas 330, ABC
  • #13 LSU -2.5 at #20 Ole Miss 6pm, ESPN
  • #11 Notre Dame -5.5 at #17 Dook 730, ACC

After last Saturday's pants-soiling, there is no such thing as a cupcake for a PJ-led Gopher team.

I'll point out that Texas-Kansas is the only undefeated vs. undefeated, ranked vs. ranked game, for the entire weekend.  I am certain you will all tune in for this week's Big Game.

Most of us probably will. That game has a big advantage of being up against not much.

I'll flip it on if BEVO is trailing in the 2nd half

Utah at Oregon State is both ranked, but not both UND, as is ND at Duke.

Florida at UK is interesting I think.  I'm interested in how UGA handles a raucus crowd on the Plains.

I'm interested in the chance that Nebraska might cover the 81 point spread

a real test for the Husker run defense and a test of the Husker running game on offense

I think the run defense might be decent
the offensive run game will rely on the QB making some runs

The worst thing about the Buckeyes playing Notre Dame is that now I feel compelled to root for them the rest of the way for SoS purposes.

Ya know I understand the premise but if find that directed at kids who are actually students kind of irksome not by you personally but in general. These kids apply to how many different schools and some get offered schollie's. Never quite knowing perhaps the extent that they would be made sacrificial lambs for the Athletic Departments to garner some xtra cash. While they get black eyes,fat lips,headaches and curbstomped. Those cupcakes would grind us in our primes to dust and stomp mudholes in our backsides for good measure. Just so we're clear on all that  :cheer:
