The Ohio State football team will take on the Minnesota Gophers this Saturday and there are important games on tap that will impact the Big Ten title race.

This will be an interesting week in the Big Ten. The Ohio State football team will attempt to stay undefeated after struggling for three quarters against the Indiana Hoosiers last Saturday and key games on tap will impact the division races.

Every week I will provide my predictions for the Big Ten games. Last week I finished 5-1. I am 42-15 on the year.

Huge week for the Big Ten East.  Wisconsin is visiting Ann Arbor and Michigan State marches into Happy Valley.

Here are my week seven predictions:

Minnesota at Ohio State

These two teams have not played since the 2015 season.

P.J. Fleck is now in full rebuilding mode.  After starting the season 4-0, the Golden Gophers have dropped the last two to Maryland and Iowa.

In those games, they allowed 90 points and 852 yards, and turned the ball over seven times.

Unless the Buckeyes come out flat, this will not be a close game.

Quarterback Zack Annexstad is a freshman and has played like one lately.  I expect the line to come after him.

For the Buckeyes, the spotlight has been on Dwayne Haskins, but I think J.K. Dobbins and Mike Weber get it going and both reach 100 yards.

Ohio State wins 52-13.
