Saunders Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Quote Big Ten football betting preview: The Athletic’s insiders pick conference and division winners, over/unders and more Editor’s note: The Athletic asked 20 of its college football writers and editors to make their picks for the upcoming season. The results of those surveys will be published via six conference betting previews: ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC and Group of 5. Ohio State (-225) enters the season as the overwhelming favorite to win the Big Ten championship, something the Buckeyes have done in each of the previous four seasons. Wisconsin (+650) has the second-best odds to claim the league title. No team from the Big Ten West has won the conference since the league adopted its East-West format in 2014. Penn State (+800), the last school not named Ohio State to win the Big Ten back in 2016, has the third-best odds followed by Iowa (+900). The Hawkeyes finished last season riding a six-game win streak, the longest active streak in the Big Ten. Indiana, who surprised many with a 6-2 record last season, was the feel-good story of the Big Ten in 2020. The Hoosiers (+2000) enter this season tied with Michigan for the fifth-best odds to win the league title. Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh and his revamped coaching staff are seeking the program’s first outright conference championship since 2003. Indiana hasn’t won the Big Ten outright since 1945. https://theathletic.com/2767263/2021/08/17/big-ten-football-betting-preview-the-athletics-insiders-pick-conference-and-division-winners-over-unders-and-more/?source=twittered Quote Odds to win the Big Ten West Division Wisconsin (-115) Iowa (+185) Minnesota (10-1) Nebraska (11-1) Northwestern (16-1) Purdue (30-1) Illinois (50-1) Quote Team over/unders Nebraska under 6 wins (+110), Maryland under 5.5 wins (+120) and Purdue under 5 wins (+110) emerged as the best value plays among the Big Ten team win totals.
