Me: 68-14
Alex: 65-17

Notes:

-Remember we have one game after this week with Purdue playing at Hawaii plus we'll include the bowls so it ain't over yet.

-I got the Wisconsin-Iowa game on the nose: 24-21 Badgers! :thumbup: Plus I only missed the PSU-Temple game by 3 points (I said 50-0 and it was 47-0).

To the picks (don't forget it is Senior Day for the home teams so they'll be very motivated...plus it is rivalry week)

1.Wisconsin 41 Buffalo 7

2.100th meeting: Iowa and Minnesota...:thumbup: ...Iowa 33 Minnesota 30

3.Penn State 47 Michigan State 13 (24th meeting...:lol: )

4.Purdue 31 Indiana 15 (109th meeting...:thumbup: )

5.100th meeting: Illinois and Northwestern...:thumbup: ...Northwestern 36 Illinois 23

6.Michigan 24 Ohio State 12 :frown: ...(103rd meeting)

Wisconsin 35, Buffalo 3
Minnesota 27, Iowa 26
Penn State 31, Michigan State 7
Purdue 28, Indiana 20
Northwestern 27, Illinois 21
Ohio State 14, Michigan 13

Minnesota is 5-6 and needs this one to reach a bowl game. Iowa has been in the pits for weeks now and doesn't seem to have any fight left in them. It's at home and, as you mentioned, Senior Day. I think a highly motivated Gopher team squeaks this one out against a more talented but beaten-down Hawkeye team.

Yeah...I'm mixed on the Iowa game. They showed little life for their own Senior Day in Iowa City early on against Wisconsin. Minnesota has played much better since the Ohio State game. That ain't sayin' much though. They couldn't get any worse.

Forgot about this Alex. Let's see what we got...

Me: 4-2 for the week...72-16 for the year
You: 6-0 for the week...71-17 for the year

Nice call on the Iowa-Minnesota game. Iowa man...what a disaster.

We'll do bowls too but we have one regular season game left and it's going to be a tough one for our Boilermakers. I really hope we win it but...

Hawaii 52 Purdue 36

Jerry Glanville said this week that he would like to be MSU head coach, apparently. If his defense gives up 36 to Purdue...I don't know. The next two games for Hawaii are fairly interesting, though. Purdue and Oregon State. I agree with you on the Purdue outcome, maybe not that high scoring.

Kind of wish Purdue wasn't playing this one. It's just going to be another black eye for the Big Ten this season.

Hawaii 45, Purdue 31

Both teams have terrible defenses but having seen just about every team (except Penn State :( ) annihilate the Boilermakers' defense this season, Hawaii should win this one easy.

Yeah...I fear an ugly game here and not one in our favor.

On the plus side, you picking Hawaii gives me the regular season title. :lol:
