Week 9 Picks

New Mexico State vs. Ohio State
Prediction: I think non-conference games in week nine are silly. Ohio State wins this one with strong QB play by Pryor, 40-10

Indiana vs. Iowa
Prediction: Hawkeye running back Adam Robinson is out and the Hawkeyes are 17.5 point favorites. I'm going with the Hawkeyes to keep their streak going, but I don't think they will cover the spread. Iowa wins it, 24-13

Purdue vs. Wisconsin
Prediction: Purdue really seems to be finding its stride this year, but Camp Randall is definitely a tough spot for them to play. That being said, I like the Boilermakers in this game. QB Joey Elliott, RB Ralph Bolden, and WR Aaron Valentin will all have solid games and a Carson Wiggs field goal will be the difference. Boiler Up, 27-24

Michigan at Illinois
Prediction: The only thing that is worse than the swine flu is the Fighting Illness. Michigan wins it and Juice will throw at least two picks and get sacked four times. Wolverines win it, 36-10.

Penn State vs. Northwestern
Prediction: The Lions are simply have more talent than the Wildcats. Daryll Clark will have a big game and the Nittany Lions will roll, 24-9.

Michigan State vs. Minnesota
Prediction: An Eric Decker-less Gopher team is definitely going to struggle the final four weeks of the season. Michigan State needs this one to rebound from that heart-breaking loss to the Hawkeyes last weekend. I think that Sparty will do just that, winning this game 28-10
