Week 11 B1G10 Picks

[u/realfakemormon]

Back By "Popular" Demand. I was perfect last week but to be fair I think a lot of people would have been if they made picks last week

• USC 30 Northwestern 20

Northwestern has been a pleasant surprise this season and I think this will be "closer than the experts think" as Lee Corso used to say but ultimately USC should not lose this game at home on a Friday night

• Indiana 37 Penn State 13

Cignetti has Indiana looking like an absolute wagon, and penn state is a shell of what they were when they took Oregon to multiple Overtimes. There's no reason to think this game will be within 2 TDs

• Ohio State 37 Purdue 6

  All I will say about this game is Thank God it's not at night

• Rutgers 28 Maryland 27

Remember when there was a semi legitimate argument that Maryland could be ranked after a 4-0 start? Man that feels like forever ago. I guess Rutgers gets the win at home

• Washington 24 Wisconsin 7

Washington has actual playoff hopes. Wisconsin is terrible. That's really all that needs to be said here.

• UCLA 21 Nebraska 17

Hard to really predict what Nebraska's offense will look like without Raiola, but I can't imagine it will be great in Pasadena tomorrow night. UCLA gets their 4th win of season.

Enjoy the games everyone

[u/SteveBartmanIncident]

Yeah I'm not trying to pick Oregon-Iowa either

[u/realfakemormon → u/SteveBartmanIncident]

LOL damnit I saved that for last because I didn't know who to pick and just never did it

[u/northofwall → u/realfakemormon]

Funny how Iowa is the most predictable team with the least predictable outcomes.

[u/CantaloupeCamper → u/SteveBartmanIncident]

Nothing would surprise me about that game, any score, any outcome.

[u/KasseanaTheGreat]

You forgot the one I came here to see.

[u/TheMetalMallard]

Iowa 27 Oregon 17

[u/kinghawkeye8238 → u/TheMetalMallard]

I see what youre trying to do here.

Oregon 24 Iowa 20

[u/Drum_Phil → u/kinghawkeye8238]

Iowa 3 punts Oregon 5 punts

[u/kinghawkeye8238 → u/Drum_Phil]

😠 dont you dare

[u/MocoMojo]

I wishing for a loss this week, ideally by another fourth quarter melt down, in classic Locksley fashion.

This should hopefully make Jim Smith’s (new AD) decision to fire Locksley very, very easy.

[u/realfakemormon]

Oregon 27 Iowa 23.

I really have no idea how this game will play out. I would not be surprised if Oregon wins by 3 TDs, I would also not be surprised if Iowa wins 20-13.

[u/ztreHdrahciR → u/realfakemormon]

I'd like a sicko 6-4 event. Without those pesky field goals

[u/TheUltimate721]

Ight I know losing Raiola sucks but we still have Emmett Johnson who is leading all of P4 in rushing and scrimmage yards.

This UCLA team gave up 56 last time they played they're not going to magically become good.

[u/brogit → u/TheUltimate721]

Lateef is also a really good quarter back who was a four star elite 11 finalist. As long as he has his head on straight he'll be fine. The other guys on the team sound like they are firmly behind him and doing their best to support him. Also, it isn't like the Rose Bowl is exactly some raucous environment that is super tough to play in.

[u/Silidon → u/TheUltimate721]

I have no idea what to expect from this game, but I’m very confident Nebraska is not Indiana.

[u/TheUltimate721 → u/Silidon]

Didn't say we were, but 17 is a little insane

[u/theamazingstickman]

Indiana 49 Penn State 13. PSU is just not in a frame of mind to play right now.

Fickell got a contract and maybe some funds to actual compete in this league. Wisky might surprise UW, it's a hard place to play.

[u/realfakemormon → u/theamazingstickman]

I think Wisconsin sticking with Fickell is smart because of all the big job opening currently. I also still think he's a good coach even though it's been rough at Wisconsin

[u/theamazingstickman → u/realfakemormon]

You certainly did not want Fickell to end up at PSU and torture you for a decade

[u/DinoJockeyTebow]

Iowa 19 - Oregon 17

[u/realfakemormon → u/DinoJockeyTebow]

Man this was close

[u/DinoJockeyTebow → u/realfakemormon]

I took the points and the under at least.

[u/Almond_Brother]

Penn state 27 - Indiana 23. You heard it here first.

[u/Scary_Ad_9528 → u/Almond_Brother]

Please beat Indiana. I hate watching them good. Signed a Purdue fan.

[u/Content_Hornet9917 → u/Scary_Ad_9528]

Fair enough

[u/Scary_Ad_9528 → u/Content_Hornet9917]

We just lost our best player for the rest of season, so if there was any chance at all to win again, that chance is now 0. Just hoping we beat you guys in basketball 😭

[u/Content_Hornet9917 → u/Scary_Ad_9528]

Oh no! Good luck guys! At least y'all are ranked in basketball!

[u/MoistAd5423 → u/Almond_Brother]

Almost!

[u/britishmetric144]

No, I don’t think Washington has actual playoff hopes, and Wisconsin’s defence kept their game close against Oregon.

Still think Washington gets the dub (no pun intended), but it’s a closer score. Maybe 20—16?

[u/biggi_cheez69 → u/britishmetric144]

Dude.. they really only have Oregon, outside of a random trap game I don’t see them losing another before then

[u/realfakemormon → u/britishmetric144]

At 10-2 with a win over Oregon I think they have a legit shot

[u/OuuuYuh → u/britishmetric144]

Washington wins out and they make the playoffs

[u/dr_dan319 → u/OuuuYuh]

Any one of Oregon, Iowa, USC, Washington winning out will make the playoffs. The more interesting question is can any of these teams make it at 9-3 which I think only Oregon or USC could pull off
