Michigan at Rutgers

The only way this game is close is if Michigan decides to not show up.  Even then Rutgers might lose.  Wolverines 56-3.

Illinois at Nebraska

Typically I am cautious about teams coming off close losses to Ohio State.  The emotional letdown tends to seep into the following game.

Not this week.

I do think Illinois is a better team this year and will give the Cornhuskers a test, but its defense is allowing 240.3 rushing yards-per-game.

That’s bad news against a team that is No. 31 in rushing averaging 216.6 yards-per-game.

Next. Win or go home. dark

Adrian Martinez and Devine Ozigbo both have 100-plus yards.  Nebraska wins 41-30.
