Minnesota(-5) over Illinois (2.5*)
- - After the emotional resignation of Coach Kill, the next game up for the Gophers was the epic against Michigan. Mine eyes have plainly seen the purpose and ability this team has been imbued with; the return on investment has been three bitter showcase losses against the Big 10's best . . . Illinois has had a romp against Purdue and a mismatch against Ohio State, a garden variety run in their emerging season . . . FWIW, Illinois is 4-13 ATS in their last 17 as a road dog (1-2 TY), while Minnesota is 9-1 ATS under HC Claeys, counting his fill-in games for Kill in 2013 (3-0 TY). And I'd prefer ideal weather over a brutal November blast of winter, but it doesn't change anything . . . It's a deep tank which has fueled this run by the Gopher players and coaching staff, and the unrequited dissonance between rewards and investment ends today. G.O.Y.

Indiana(-6')(-113) over Purdue (1*)
- - Indiana will win, I expect they do so by covering.
Michigan(+1) over Ohio State (1*)
- - More or less from Day 1 of the season I've expected Michigan to be prepared and relentless in this one; that expectation has only grown week after week, while Ohio State struggles week after week to put any target in their collective cross hairs.
Stanford(-3)(-135) over Notre Dame (1*)

Washington State(+7') over Washington (1*)

Penn State(+10') over Michigan State (1*)

Western Kentucky(-8) over Southern Mississippi (1*)
- - Explosive and at home, I think they play like the better team they are.
Baylor(-21) over Texas (1*)
- - This is the end of the string on a long and tough season for Texas. The 3rd string QB for Baylor has looked good enough to shine in this mismatch.
Temple(+5') over Houston (1*)
- - This seems an intriguing matchup, and I'm playing on the spread being too generous for the home field advantage.
