I'll update the record when I have the stomach to pour through all of last week's losses :scared

Did a real half-assed job of 'capping last week and got my ass handed to me. Haven't turned anything around, yet, so these are picks w/ limited confidence behind them
West Lafayette should see some rain and 20+ hour winds. That will hamper the Boiler offense much more than the Badgers. Badgers manhandled the Buckeye front last weekend at Ohio State and I don't care what the stats say, Purdue's run defense is susceptible to getting run over and a projected wet field only makes them more susceptible. Tiller's teams have a tendency to fall when the spotlight is turned on and they have erased some demons at South Bend, but I'd like to see them do it again.
That said, Orton scares the hell out of me and he picked apart what I believe is a solid ND D, so if they are able to turn this into a shootout, it will be trouble for the Bahhhhdgers. Hopefully the weather forecast is right on and Wisky runs over the Boilers in a mudder
Wisconsin +7 1.5 units
Surprising stat this week for me is the fact that the Illini are 1-4 ATS because I think they've played much better than I've expected. I'm a little worried about playing a team that hasn't announced named their starting QB, but Beutjer's got to play. If Turner weren't on the bubble, he may go to a youth movement, but Michigan at home is a game that can turn a season around, save coaches jobs.
And now Michigan has to prepare for three QBs (which should be especially hard since they've been watching Purdue film all week
) Frosh QB on the road and a 20-point fav in a game sandwiched between Minny and Purdue.

Wind's a huge factor as the team with it has scored 27 and has 0 points against. Should bode well for the game in West Lafayette about 100 miles east and 75 miles north.
Illini finds ways to lose these types of games.
Michigan -10 (-105) 1 unit
GL 2 us, MC!

Take a 'lil more Badger. Hard for Orton to throw when he's racing the DE's to the 5-step drop mark.
Wisky +4.5 1/2 unit
