There are a lot of interestingly bad games for the Big Ten this week. Bad because the Big Ten could lose to a lot of not so good teams. Big Ten wins most, but a lot of nail biters.

Maryland - FIU Road games are always tough. Maryland a bit of an unknown but has some speed. Maryland 27 - 16

Penn State - Pitt Carbon copies of each other? Boring football? At Pitt. Pitt 17-16

Howard - Rutgers - Bad Game. Do they pay people to come? Home team Rutgers 21-17

Wyoming - Nebby - Is Wyoming coming back to relevance in beating NIU? Or has NIU slipped that bad. Nebby 21-13

UCF - Mich - Still think Mich is way overrated. UCF maybe not that bad, but at Ann Arbor....UCF not used to that. M 38 - 17

IND State - MN - A P5 win is a P5 win. ISU is dangerous to weak Big Ten teams. Not this time. MN 27 - 17

Cincy - Purdue - Purdue has some speed and some skill, are like a better IA St.. Cincy doesn't look great. Purdue at Home 24 - 23. Later in the year PU will fall apart.

IL St - NW - Are the Cats bad this year? Likely still solid. NW 23 - 18

Tulsa - O State - Young OSU team might be lazy at the start, but will win by a lot. 52 - 10

AK - WI - Upset special? Likely not. WI 27 - 17

Ball St - IU - Another upset in the making. Maybe. IU getting more solid? IU 20 - 17

NC - IL - Illinois has no depth but are healthy, IL has good skill at QB and RBs. Def front is one of the best in B10. 2ndary not very good. NC runs a lot. IL 17-14

ISU - Hawks - Conservative Kirk will plod through this one. ISU could burn Hawks a few times. Hawks 27 - 17.
 
The one that jumped out was picking ILL over UNC.

I just can't see Lovie Smith pulling off an upset that big so early in his coaching tenure at ILL. If he does then Iowa has something to worry about when they go to champaign in November.

They'll run out of depth by then...
