B1G picks: Whoa, Nellie! Can Buckeyes cover 8.0 in 'The Game'?

Last week: 5-2

Season: 55-35

My selections for Week 13.

Iowa -1.5 at Nebraska: Iowa has won 6 in a row in series, hasn't lost in Lincoln since 2011. The streak continues, and the Hawkeyes cover, too.

Wisconsin -7.0 at Minnesota: Sorry, Goldy. You aren't slowing down the Badger train. Bucky wins and covers.

Maryland -1.5 at Rutgers: Frankly, I am a bit shocked the Terps are favored. Give me RU and the points. I think the Scarlet Knights win straight up.

Ohio State -8.0 at Michigan: Whoa, Nellie! Brutus flexes ... again. Take OSU and lay the the points. Sorry, Wolverines.

Penn State -1.0 at Michigan State: A virtual pick 'em. Take Sparty and the points.

Northwestern at Illinois -6.5: A pillow fight in Champaign! Can the Illini cover that number? I say "no." Take NU and the points.

Indiana at Purdue -15.0: Lay the points and take the Boilers. Purdue brings home the Bucket.

Lock of the week: Indiana at Purdue -15.0

Spread too big? Northwestern at Illinois -6.5

Spread too small? Iowa -1.5 at Nebraska

Avoid this game: Penn State -1.0 at Michigan State
