Off to Week 7 in the world of Big Ten football, and it looks like Ohio State is back at it after pausing because of a mild coronavirus outbreak.
As we get further along in these games, it’s becoming more and more likely that a game gets canceled because of too many coronavirus positive tests, but we’ll continue to keep grinding along in hopes that safety rules the day. There are in fact, two more games that won’t happen in the conference because of COVID-19 outbreaks at Minnesota and Michigan.
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. It’s called our Pick Six and becoming increasingly hard to find meaningful games when a handful are canceled every week.
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.
