Football Picks Oct 15-16

Ok, no more betting on the Big10. Its killing me.

well, if i did have to bet on the Big10, here's what i would do: i'm not placing any $$$ on it, so watch, i'll get most of these correct.

wisc at minn, minn -5
not touching this, minn has injuries to their qb/rb

indiana at iowa, iowa -15
both these teams beat Illinois the past few weeks. i dont think iowa is that great, and indiana seems to be playing well. take indiana and the points.

mich st at ohio st, ohio st -7
both teams coming off losses, tho MSU has had 2 weeks to prepare. i think tOSU will be fired up coming off a loss to PennSt and MSU will come back to earth. take tOSU

northwestern at purdue, purdue -7.5
are you kidding me? northwestern will most likely win this game. purdue = BAD defense. take northwestern and the points.
(side note: the o/u here is like 68 or so, i'd also take the OVER)

penn state at michigan, michigan -3.5
michigan doesnt lose 2 big10 games at home in a row. the big10 refs will make sure of that :)

-------
ok, serious picks

Stanford at Arizona, Arizona -5.0, o/u 49
Arizona is coming off losses at Cal and USC. They've played a tough schedule so far, @Utah, Purdue, @Cal, @USC. This team should be ready to play a home game against a team they should beat.

Pick: Arizona -5.0; ideally take Arizona 1st half.

that's it for now, if i come up with any great ones i'll post them later
