Off to so-called “Championship Week” in the world of Big Ten football, and it looks like everything is on for the Big Ten Championship Game between Ohio State and Northwestern. Some of the other games were not so lucky, hitting the chopping block because of coronavirus outbreaks.
Despite it all, we’ll continue to keep grind along to a finish here in hopes that safety rules the day. There are in fact, three more games that won’t happen in the conference because of COVID-19 outbreaks and so the slate is a little thin in the Big Ten.
There are other conferences playing championship games though, so we have those to look forward to as well.
As we do each week during Big Ten football season, we’re bringing you our expert picks and predictions on all the league games against the spread, and straight-up. Also, as an added bonus you didn’t know you even craved, we’ll throw in six of the top games across the slate of all the college football games for the week. We’re the judge and jury on that one.
As a reminder, if there’s an asterisk next to the pick, that means the team will win, but not cover. We get our odds from BetMGM. In the event of a tie, George Washington settles it via the old coin-flip.
INSTRUCTIONS: Make your pick against the spread. For example …
– If you think Ohio State will win -3.5 over Michigan: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win outright: OSU
– If you think Ohio State will win, but NOT cover: OSU*
Here are our expert picks for Week 7, but first our results after six weeks of play.
