Default Big 10 Pick of the Week - Purdue +16 at Penn State

Purdue has lost a lot of games this year, but they have some talent. They have been close in many of their losses.

Penn State will win this game, but it should be by less than 16 enough of the time.

Tough to take a team 0-7-0 ATS this year.

They kind of remind me of PSU the last 2 years. Keep every game close, but find some way to lose each one.

I'll stay away (partially because I hate betting against my teams) but Purdue can't be that bad of a pick.

Personally, I think the Wisconsin/Illinois game is the Big 10 Game of the Week and has already been discussed in another thread.

TomCollins, let's not forget your advice on the "ridiculous value" of taking OSU at Penn State. You still smarting from that game? I'd stay away from this one.

I think Penn State will treat their homecoming crowd to a whoopin', but I'm staying away.

Default another pick....

Michigan State is currently -18 at home against Indiana.

Indiana is still a year or two behind, but they have shown vast improvements. Meanwhile, it appears MSU is settling into a nice late season suckfest.

I'm putting a small bet (I don't bet enough to play units, but we'll say 1/2 unit) on Indiana to cover the 18 points. MSU by 10.

You are using results oriented thinking.

Indiana is improved, but they are still Indiana. MSU can light up bad teams, not sure I see much value here on either side.

I'm not sure what this means. You can't improve and still be as bad as you once were. Indiana's really only been blown out once (at OSU) and MSU has been horrid as of late.

I like PSU in moderate size, already booked at -15. I think Purdue gets beat up for PSU's homecoming.

Nice helmet.
