We’re now heading into week four and conference games are starting to dominate the landscape in the Big Ten and around the country. What we thought we knew will become more apparent as teams begin to matchup, and it’s up to us to continue to give you the investment advice you want.
As normal, we’re predicting every Big Ten game for the week straight-up and against the spread, but since the slate is lighter with conference play getting into the swing, we’ll do the same for the six games deemed to be the biggest nationally.
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 week four, but first, the standings that will be updated each week after all the games. Last week was not so good, but we’re pulling up our big boy pants and looking to rebound.
