Week 9?

Damn, college football season always seems to go so fast.

There’s a lot left to be determined - like the entire Big Ten West. I’d say Illinois is the clear favorite in our division, but perhaps our beloved Huskers will have something to say about that Saturday.

I don’t think any of the odds on this week’s Big Ten games are that shocking, although - Ohio State favored by 15.5 seems a little strong to me given that this game is at Happy Valley. Are the Buckeyes that much better, or Penn State not as strong?

Iowa by 11 over Northwestern. There has been a lot of pretty bad football this year, and I cannot think of a game that might be worse than this. At least it’s on at the same time as Nebraska so I won’t be tempted to watch it. They don’t include any bets on its likelihood to cause blindness, which they could as a prop bet.

Syracuse favored by 2.5 over Notre Dame. I felt like ‘Cuse got screwed at Clemson last week, and I would find it incredibly fun if they could knock off the Domers.
