So the college basketball season has essentially started with team practices under way, but we're still a little bit over a month from the actual tipoff. That being said, it's Saturday so that means it's another day of Big Ten football. Like last week here's a little reference guide for today's action and my predictions.
| Time | Game | Network | Line | Preview |
| 12:00 | Ohio State at Maryland | ABC | OSU -7 | Ohio State | Maryland |
| 12:00 | Purdue at Illinois | ESPN2 | ILL - 9 | Purdue | Illinois |
| 2:30 | North Texas at Indiana | BTN | IND - 14 | North Texas | Indiana |
| 3:30 | Wisconsin at Northwestern | ESPN2 | WIS -8 | Wisconsin | Northwestern |
| 7:00 | Michigan at Rutgers | BTN | RUT -2 | Michigan | Rutgers |
| 8:00 | Nebraska at Michigan State | ABC | MSU -7 | Nebraska | Michigan State |
And here are my predictions for today's games. Last week I ended up going 6-3, which was okay I guess (hate you Penn State, Michigan and Purdue).
| Game | Prediction |
| Ohio State at Maryland | Ohio State 37 Maryland 20 |
| Purdue at Illinois | Purdue 20 Illinois 17 |
| North Texas at Indiana | Indiana 41 North Texas 24 |
| Wisconsin at Northwestern | Wisconsin 34 Northwestern 13 |
| Michigan at Rutgers | Michigan 20 Rutgers 10 |
| Nebraska at Michigan State | Michigan State 38 Nebraska 24 |
