Big Ten Week 6 Preview

Not the best week for the Big Ten in match-ups, we do get to see if Nebraska is for real.  Somehow Northwestern sneaks a non-conference game in.  

Friday Night:

Iowa @ Washington (-3):  Iowa got a wake up call last week against OSU that is taking some of steam off the Michigan win.  Washington is up and down but that is tough travel on a short week.  Washington 21 Iowa 20 

Saturday: 

IU (-7.5) @ Nebraska: Both teams are hot but neither really have played anyone, the win over Northwestern looks better now then it did a week ago. IU 28 Nebraska 17 

Ball State @ Northwestern (37.5): Should be an easy win for the Wildcats. NW 44 Ball State: 10 

UCLA @ Oregon (-11.5):  The Ducks really responded after their upset loss to OK State.  With Moore probably out with a concussion its Raiola time again with a new jersey.  I like the Ducks.  Oregon 31 UCLA 17

Illinois (-2.5) @ MSU:  Not a great start for either team this season.  Illinois 17 MSU 14 

Maryland @ OSU (-34.5): Yikes.  OSU 52 Maryland 9

USC @ Penn State (-1.5): Both teams coming off tough loses and need a win.  USC doesn't travel east well but is the better team: USC 28 PSU 23

Minnesota (-2.5) @ Purdue: Both teams coming off big wins and I think the Golden Gophers are set up for let down.  Purdue 20 Minnesota 17

UCLA also has a prove it game this weekend as Oregon tries to hold on to their CFP and Big Ten Championship lives.
