It’s officially the last regular season week of college football. We now know what’s at stake for most games around the country. It could be argued that this is the best week of every season with all the rivalries and implications at stake.
As normal, we’re predicting every Big Ten game for the week straight-up and against the spread, but since the slate is dominated by conference play at the end of things, we’ll do the same for the six games deemed to be the biggest nationally each week. We’re the judge and jury on that one. It’s called our Pick Six.
A a reminder, if there’s an *next to the pick, that means the team will win, but not cover. Also, we get our odds from BetMGM.
INSTRUCTIONS: Make your pick against the spread. For example …
– If you think Ohio State will win -3.5 over Michigan: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win outright: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win, but NOT cover: OSU*
– If there’s a tie, George Washington settles it via the ‘ole quarter coin-flip.
Here we go for a big week fourteen, but first, the standings that will be updated each week after all the games. Onward we go. Just keep picking, just keep picking …
