A blog post on OffTackleEmpire made an interesting point: All 12 B1G Ten teams favored to win this week. How many will? LINK

Illinois (vs. Charleston Southern): N/A

Indiana (vs. Ball State): -2.5

Iowa (vs. Northern Iowa): N/A

Michigan (vs. UMass): -46.5

Michigan State (vs. Notre Dame): -6

Minnesota (vs. Western Michigan): -2.5

Nebraska (vs. Arkansas State): -24.5

Northwestern (vs. Boston College): -3.5

Ohio State (vs. California): -17

Penn State (vs. Navy): -5.5

Purdue (vs. Eastern Michigan): -24

Wisconsin (vs. Utah State): -14

 
I think last week was a bit of a fluke. A perfect storm of scheduling. I doubt the B1G goes undefeated this week--even though we're favored in every game. But probly will win 8 or 9 games, maybe even 10. Yeah, 10 games is what my rose colored glasses tell me.

The Notre Dame game and the Penn St. ones could go either IMO.
Yeah, if I had to pick one game as an upset I'd pick Navy over State Penn. At this point it's still undetermined just how far PSU has fallen. And how much they're going to suck at football from here on out.

 
For sure. They won't see a good season til late this decade at the earliest. I think The MSU-ND game could be close depending on what type of O the domers bring. And Minnesota could always just fold at any point, so ya never know...

I see Iowa and Wisconsin potentially getting beat. Penn State and Michigan State also could have a tough time with their opponents, but I think they pull it out.

 
Everything listed within 10 I think is probably a possible upset pick. But the two outside of that that I'd be wary of... Wisky and Utah St. The Aggies are a bit better than I think most people are giving credit right now, and with the way Wisky started the season, that could be a lot closer than expected. The other is the Iowa v. UNI game. UNI gave Wisky a run for their money, and Iowa has already lost to ISU. That one wouldn't surprise me at all to see UNI come in and catch the Squawkeyes at home. Should be interesting, for sure. Anything from a 4 to 5 win slate to an undefeated slate is possible this week, I would think.

 
Tons of close calls, but most won. Mich State managed to further damage the conference rep. No TDs against ND. And Indiana lost to Ball State. But its Indiana.
