Time for Week 7 Picks

Another installment of pick'em. Now that I'm in a self-described "Pick'em War" against ESPN Blogger Adam Rittenberg, I'll post his picks for you as well. But first, here's my picks

Deleware State vs. Michigan
Game Time: 11 a.m. on Big Ten Network
What to watch for: Should be an easy game for Michigan to get themselves back on track, let's see how Tate Forcier plays after being roughed up by the Hawkeyes (and after being yelled at a lot by Rich Rod).
Prediction: Wolverines roll 38-10
Rittenberg's Pick: Michigan

Iowa vs. Wisconsin
Game Time: 11 a.m. on ESPN
What to watch for: It's the battle for the Heartland Trophy. The Hawkeyes hit the road for the next two weeks to see if they can continue their undefeated season.
Prediction: Stanzi plays better, Hawkeyes win in a close one, 24-21
Rittenberg's Pick: Wisconsin

Northwestern vs. Michigan State
Game Time: 11 a.m. on ESPN2
What to watch for: Michigan State's QB play and how the Sparty defense plays against the Mike Kafka offense.
Prediction: In a slight upset, I'll take the Wildcats, 27-24
Rittenberg's Pick: Michigan State

Ohio State vs. Purdue
Game Time: 11 a.m. on Big Ten Network
What to watch for: Let's see if Purdue can even compete in this game
Prediction: Purdue has, what I would say is a 0% chance of winning, and I think I'm being generous. Buckeyes crush the Boilers, 40-7
Rittenberg's Pick: Ohio State

Minnesota vs. Penn State
Game time: 2:30 p.m. on ABC
What to watch for: If the Gophers have any chance, Adam Weber and Eric Decker need to have damn good games.
Prediction: Penn State keeps it going, winning this one 30-13
Rittenberg's Pick: Penn State

Illinois vs. Indiana
Game Time: 6 p.m. on Big Ten Network
What to watch for: Battle of some bottom feeders. Illinois needs to limit the turnovers if they wi this game (Good luck with Juice and Magee at QB).
Prediction: Indiana will pull of the upset in this one, and the Fighting Illness will prepare fireronzook.com. Hoosiers win 17-14
Rittenberg's Pick: Illinois

So as you can see, this is a BIG week for me to either jump ahead of Adam Rittenberg or for him to catch up to me. Only time will tell. Let's just sit back and watch some Big Ten Football
