the big ten teams from the state of michigan have screwed me over for the second week in a row. i am this close to driving up there and knocking down a few abandoned high rises in downtown detroit just to prove how pissed off i am. this close...
This Weekend
Wagg Predictions: 4-2
Morgan Predictions: 4-2
Wagg ATS: 4-2
Morgan ATS: 2-4
For The Season
Wagg Predictions: 48-20 (71%)
Morgan Predictions: 51-17 (75%)
Wagg ATS: 27-32 (46%)
Morgan ATS: 24-35 (41%)
the last two week have been good to shwaggspeare against the spread, as he is slowly creeping towards the break even point. i still hold onto my three game lead in the predictions. so thats nice.
Big Ten Power Rankings
November 2nd, 2009
1. Iowa - northwestern, ohio state, and minnesota (in that order) are all that stands between the hawkeyes and an undefeated regular season. looking at the final score in the indiana game tells you just how dominant iowa is in the 4th quarter - they entered trailing the hoosiers, and ended up winning by 18.
2. Penn State - the nits play only the second team on their schedule who is worth a crap when the buckeyes invade happy valley this saturday at 3:30pm. look for them to take away the run, forcing terrelle pryor to beat them with his arm. which he wont. ever.
3. Ohio State - playing a team like new mexico state at the end of the season is all fun and games until someone gets hurt. like aaron petrey. which forced tressel to send out walk-on junior devin barclay who kicks field goals about as well as bill wagg dunks a basketball. it probably would have been ben buchanon out there if he wasnt battling some flu bug. in any case, the bucks will need all the special teams mojo they can muster in the coming weeks against penn state, iowa, and michigan.
4. Wisconsin - the badgers completely dominated purdue. best game they have played all year by far. the rest of their schedule almost guarantees them a 10 win season.
5. Minnesota - good win at home for the gophers, who are certainly better than their 5-4 record lets on.
6. Michigan State - if iowa are the cardiac kids of 2009 big ten football, the spartans are definitely the heartbreak kids. 2 - 3 - 8 - 2 - 8. no, not the winning lottery numbers. yes, the points that michigan state has lost their 5 games this season. still, good teams find ways to win those games.
7. Northwestern - NERDS!
8. Indiana - a big jump for the hoosiers in this weeks rankings. unfortunately, this says more about the bottom three teams than it does about indiana.
9. Purdue - that momentum that the boilers had after consecutive wins against the buckeyes and illini? GONE.
10. Illinois - the illini have beaten exactly one FBS college football team this season, which is sad. more sad for that team they beat, which was of course....
11. Michigan - ....the michigan wolverweenies. loses of 4 of 5 (and the lone victory was against lowly delaware state) dick rod and his troops are officially falling apart. looks like it will again be a challenge for michigan to make a bowl game. a challenge they came well short of last season.
awesome.
