Week Two Big Ten action. Four road favorites and one cancelled game. Picking against the spread.

How did I do last week? 3-4 vs. the line.

My selections this week ...

Minnesota (-20) at Maryland (Friday): 20 is a big number for a road team to lay. But, what the heck. Did you see Testudo play last week? Give the 20 and take Goldy.

Michigan State at Michigan (-24.5): Mel Tucker, meet Jim Harbaugh. He'll apologize later. No, he won't. Lay the 24.5 and take the winged helmets.

Purdue (-7) at Illinois: Purdue Pete is only giving seven points? Lay 'em and run. Beef House rolls for everyone on the drive back on I-74 to WL!

Wisconsin (-10.5) at Nebraska: Cancelled

Indiana (-11.5) at Rutgers: Who thought this would be a big game this time last week? Yet, here we are. Love the Fightin' Tom Allens, but I'm taking the University of NJ and the 11.5.

Northwestern at Iowa (-2.5): Smell that? It's a sense of urgency. And it's coming off Herky. Take Captain Kirk and give the points.

Ohio State (-12.5) at Penn State: Oh, Brutus is gonna win. But not by double-digits. Take the 12.5 and the Nits.

Lock of the week: Michigan State at Michigan (-24.5)

Spread too big? Minnesota (-20) at Maryland

Spread too small? Purdue (-7) at Illinois

Avoid this game: Northwestern at Iowa (-2.5). Hawkeyes may not even win, let alone cover.
