EDIT: All times below are Central Standard Time. Forgot to include that last night. Week 12: 7 Big Ten games this weekend including an East West match-up with Big Ten Championship and Playoff implications. Also, several teams fighting to remain mathematically bowl eligible: Ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of stupidity DISCLAIMER: These are the author's own personal views and do not represent the views of the author's employer. | |||

Tmats - excellent article thanks for sharing TKO - Interesting predictions, thanks for posting. We have the same winner in 4 games and only agree on the spread in 1 game. Should be interesting. Everyone else - 1.5 hours to get your prediction posted.

It was a longshot for sure... And I wanted them ranked for next weeks game against the Bucks. There is a reason I don't try to make a living on gambling. "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits." Albert Einstein | |||

I post the odds every week, but I haven't bet on a college game in years and even then the wager was only lunch. I think my last bet was when Purdue played UofM during the RichRod era, and my coworker was a UofM alum.

I know what you mean about the two W drives, Tatortodd, but Peters going out was the real game changer. You could see the wind go out of UM's sails. They have no confidence in O'Korn, and understandably. If Peters were playing, the game against Ohio next week would be up for grabs.

They were back to back drives so we'll never know which was more important: I still believe the WI passing game was more important. At that point in the game, WI's only score was from a punt return and WI was stymied in the run. Afterward, WI's offense had the ball 5 times which resulted in two TDs, one field goal, one punt, and end of game. 89 of Taylor's 132 rushing yards were on these 5 last drives. Pryor, Ibrahim, Shaw, and Groshek also started being effective on the run. Agreed that the Wolverines don't stand a chance against tOSU with O'Korn as QB. The offense's confidence is so low with him that they even lose the ability to run block and they get fumblitis. With Peters under center they've had zero interceptions, only had 1 QB fumble (granted it was a key fumble but it's still a hell of a lot less fumbles than O'Korn), they have less sacks, their completion percentage goes up, they rush block better, and their WRs and RBs fumble less. Peters' stats aren't remarkable, but it's amazing how all aspects of the offense click with him. The O getting first downs and putting together drives also helps their D out by giving them recovery time.

UM has not ruled out the possibility that Peters will start next week, pending "tests" this week. If Peters plays there's a (outside) chance for UM, with O'Korn not a chance in Hell. Michigan's offensive line has been, IMO, the main causes of their weakness. Two quarterbacks (probably) were lost to injuries from vicious sacks. Pass protection is often poor, and there has been little push and opening holes on running plays. The "rivalry" is losing its sparkle because Ohio State has won 12 of the last 13. For a rivalry to remain exciting, one team cannot just consistently dominate the other. U of M football is just not in the same league with Ohio State football. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

If there is ever a throw the records and performances out the door game, this is it. Michigans last victory was over Ohio State before Urban took over. OSU was barely .500 that year and they needed a late play to seal the victory. The following two years the roles were reversed and the margin of victory was OSU stopping Robinson on a 2 point conversion at the end of the game. Records and performances just dont matter in this game. Considering how OSU has played this year, I give Michigan better odds than most years. If the OSU that played OU and Iowa shows up.... Nuff said. "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits." Albert Einstein | |||

I wanna see if the Badgers can bring home the Bunyan axe for the 14th consecutive year versus the Gophers. Just looked, and the series is tied all-time 59-59-8 “I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” | |||

Purdue leads the overall series 72–41–6, but IU has earned the Old Oaken Bucket the last 4 years (aka the dreadful Darrell Hazell era). Time to bring it back to West Lafayette.

Two games have playoff implications, two games feature teams fighting for bowl eligibility, and the remaining games have teams playing for better bowl games.

IA at NE - I like Nebraska at home in this game OSU at UofM - Im picking Michigan to win and save Harbaugh's job at home. They are a team with nothing to lose and Michigan has a solid D this year. IU at Purdue - Taking Purdue on this one and cover PSU at MD - Penn State in a blow out WI at MN - I like the Badger to win and cover late MSU at Rutgers - MSU wins and covers NWU at IL - NWU wins and covers "The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits."
