Another football day for the Big Ten and it's a relatively uninspiring set of games, especially with Ohio State and Nebraska on bye weeks. With teams like Michigan State and Wisconsin playing games that should be winnable, that leaves matchups like Indiana versus Iowa and Northwestern at Minnesota as the two more intriguing games. We do get a primetime matchup between Penn State and Michigan, which should be interesting as Michigan tries to right the ship while Penn State tries to look like a team that didn't get dominated versus Northwestern. Oh, and it'll be my first time seeing a game at the Big House, which has me relatively excited. While I'm not a Michigan fan, I've always wanted to see a game at Michigan Stadium. With the game being at night...it should be quite the sight.
| Time | Game | Network | Line | Preview |
| 12:00 | Indiana at Iowa | ESPNU | Iowa -3.5 | Indiana | Iowa |
| 12:00 | Northwestern at Minnesota | BTN | Minn -3.5 | Northwestern | Minnesota |
| 12:00 | Illinois at Wisconsin | ESPN2 | Wis -25 | Illinois | Wisconsin |
| 3:30 | Michigan State at Purdue | ABC/ESPN2 | MSU -20.5 | Michigan State | Purdue |
| 7:00 | Penn State at Michigan | ESPN2 | Mich -1.5 | Penn State | Michigan |
And here are my predictions for today's games. Last week I ended up going 4-2, missing on Wisconsin and Michigan. I thought the Wolverines would bounce back, I was wrong...
| Game | Prediction |
| Indiana at Iowa | Iowa 27 Indiana 20 |
| Northwestern at Minnesota | Minnesota 23 Northwestern 13 |
| Illinois at Wisconsin | Wisconsin 45 Illinois 17 |
| Michigan State at Purdue | Michigan State 34 Purdue 17 |
| Penn State at Michigan | Michigan 27 Penn State 24 |
