Week 8 B1G Picks
All the B1G games picked against the spread. Let’s see if Walk on Fan has any idea what we’re doing.
Odds were taken from Fanduel at the time of writing*
2 Oregon (-27.5) at Purdue – (Friday) 7:00 PM on FOX
Oregon is coming off of a massive emotional win and has to travel across the country in a short week. Of course, I think the Ducks win, but 27.5 is too rich. Purdue covers, but Oregon wins 38-14
Pick – Purdue +27.5
Nebraska (+6.5) at Indiana – 11:00 AM on FOX
IMO – this is the hardest B1G game to pick this week. Indiana’s schedule is so soft it’s hard to tell if they are for real. I think Neraska’s defense is good enough to keep this game close, but Indiana’s offense is just too much. This feels like Indiana 23, Nebraska 14 to me.
Pick – Indiana -6.5
Wisconsin (-7.5) at Northwestern – 11:00 AM on BTN
Bucky is on a roll and Northwestern’s win last week was heavily dependent on turnovers. The Wildcats won despite being outgained by Maryland, and I think that’s a sign they aren’t very good. Wisconsin pounds NW 45-7.
