Definitely Northwestern
Definitely Northwestern
This line is inflated because of what Minny did to Illinois last week. But here's a little known secret: Illinois is really, really bad (and this is coming from a U of I alum).
Illinois also had some costly turnovers or they would have been right in the game. There's no way I see Minny blowing out 2 Big Ten opponents in a row, they're just not that good. Also, I think the fine people of Minnesota are a tad distracted right now with that whole ALCS thing, can't imagine the Gophers are getting a lot of press and hype.
Northwestern also hung with Ohio St. at home and played Mich St. close on the road. Take the +16.5.
Also leaning towards V Tech. They've made a winner out of me every time I've bet them this year and I've got a strong desire to keep riding the wave. We'll see though.
