I gotta take Indiana right you gotta take Indiana watch me be wrong Ohio State though straight up Indiana against the number TCU and Texas big matchup in the Big 12 TCU vs Texas the TCU uh Horned Frogs undefeated with Iowa native Max Dugan running that offense I like TCU to win this game Texas actually the favorite here by seven uh again this game is in Austin I like TCU to win I like TCU of course to cover LSU taking on Arkansas the Tigers LSU vs Arkansas three-point favorites over the Razorbacks this game is in Arkansas though I like LSU to go on the road take care of business and they cover the number they are three point favorites Alabama and Ole Miss Alabama with two Alabama vs Ole Miss losses when's the last time we've said that it's been a while they've they've had years but boy not used to seeing more than one loss on the board for Alabama at this point in a season and I think they may see a third this weekend I like the hometown Rebels I think Ole Miss gets the job done even though Alabama 11 and a half Point favorites on the road despite coming off that loss last week Maryland and Penn State the Maryland vs Penn State Terrapins played Michigan close in the big house that's kind of the game I would equate to this matchup I don't think they're able to hang with Penn State like they hung with Michigan this is kind of a part of the Year where Maryland tends to kind of fade off you know we've had years where they've started off 405-0 not saying they're going to fade off into Oblivion this year but I think Penn State wins handily they cover the number their 10 and a half Point favorites North Carolina UNC vs Wake Forest taking on Wake the Demon Deacons three and a half Point favorites I like Wake Forest to win I like them to cover at home Louisville and cleansing cleansing Louisville vs Clemson the seven point favorites at home a little bit surprised this isn't a bigger line I like the Tigers maybe I'll fall for the bait on this one I like Clemson to win I like Clemson to cover the seven Washington on the road at Oregon Michael Washington vs Oregon pennick's and Washington trying to go on the road and pull off an upset against the ducks the ducks are 13 and a half Point favorites in Austin Stadium I like Oregon to win I think they'll cover that number but don't be surprised if this is a high scoring game between a couple of transfer portal quarterbacks bonix and Michael pinnick's going head-to-head both of those guys have been Sensational Georgia vs Mississippi State all year Georgia taking on Mississippi State Georgia 16 and a half Point favorites on the road gotta take uh Miss State against that number I like Georgia to win the game I think Mississippi State keeps it fairly close they can score points they can also get scored on not real confident in that pick but I will take State against the number and that brings us to the game most of you Iowa Iowa vs Wisconsin fans care about the Hawkeyes and the Badgers Iowa still has a shot to win this Division if they win out that includes a win at home against Wisconsin a win next week on the road at Minnesota and a win against Nebraska the only one loses this week and that has to happen I mean Illinois needs to lose to Purdue if Purdue loses this week if Illinois raps I shouldn't say they wrap up the division if they win this week they're close to wrapping up this division they would need to lose out which would include a loss to Northwestern I guess it's possible it's a rivalry game last week the season but as you and I both know Northwestern is a shell of what it typically is obviously a couple of things need to happen for Iowa to have a shot but first things first they need to win this game against Wisconsin we talked about some of the keys if you missed my preview earlier in the week certainly check that out who wins the rushing battle I expect Wisconsin to win that battle despite 200 yards this past week from Caleb Johnson I know Braille and Allen's been beat up I see this being somewhere in the range of 150 yards for Wisconsin 75 yards for Iowa I don't see Wisconsin putting up a buck 75 200 against this Iowa front I've been wrong on this before but this Iowa defense has been absolutely Sensational and since the bye week they've been great against the Run struggled to stop the run against Illinois struggled to stop the run against Michigan I think they stopped the Run reasonably well against a run-heavy team in Wisconsin it's going to be a low scoring game but Iowa will also have problems scoring themselves these last two defenses that Iowa have faced not the best I think we understand that they have shown Improvement but I think you're going to see a bit of a step back against a really solid Wisconsin defense maybe not the typical defense that we see but that 3-4 defense typically gives Iowa problems they have a really good secondary they create turnovers I think Wisconsin wins on the road 17 to 10 the Hawkeyes fall to the Badgers no I'm not a hater I'm just calling it like I see it could be wrong I was wrong last week I had Purdue winning in West Lafayette like with the Badgers winning low scoring game Iowa will have a chance late but they fall at home 17 to 10 Wisconsin gets out of Dodge with the victory appreciate you tuning in for another episode of the show another Pick Em segment here at from the
