Illinois at Northwestern

More from Ohio State Football

The winner receives the Land of Lincoln trophy.

I thought Illinois was playing better this year until Iowa slapped them around last week winning 63-0.

Northwestern has too much at stake to allow a letdown.  It will be close, but the Wildcats will control the game and win 33-20.

Rutgers at Michigan State

A perfect opponent for the Spartans to end their two-game losing streak. Rutgers is terrible on both sides of the ball.
