I really almost feel like Michigan State falls under the Mike Tice rule. This team is impossible to figure out on a week-to-week basis. I feel comfortable fading Illinois, but man does it feel uncomfortable to bet on Mich. State after what had to be one of the worst choke jobs I have ever seen.

I agree with you on tOSU to cover @ Iowa. I figured this line would be around 12, and I may have bet it at that.

I've been to the last two Purdue games, and I attended all of the home games last year. I can tell you that the pass D is better than last year, but still not very good. The corners are bigger and shouldn't be dragged for ten yards by Samardzija (sp?) every play. Quinn had over 400 yards in the game last year, mostly on quick passes. I think Purdue covers even on the road, but I am an alum so take it for what it's worth. If you recall, Purdue went three years only losing by more than 7 once until last year.
