Pigskin Pick'ems


11/11/2009

Matt Kuzawa (3-1 last week, 23-13 overall)

Michigan 30 Wisconsin 27- For the sake of rolling the dice once in a while, I'm going against my fellow writers here. Michigan is desperate and they have no shot at the Buckeyes.

Michigan State 19 Purdue 13- I hate picking the Spartans because they never seem to win the games they should. I've got my fingers crossed.

Ohio State 27 Iowa 10- Somehow, someway, Ohio State has risen back to the top of the Big Ten. The sweater-vest strikes again and the Buckeyes will be smelling roses.

Vikings 30 Lions 13- A few years ago, the Lions had a tendency to win games that they had no business winning. That's not the case anymore, and the Vikings are destined to play the Saints in the NFC Championship.

Greg Monahan (2-2 last week, 25-11 overall)

Wisconsin 31 Michigan 21- The Wolverines need to take one of their next two to become bowl-eligible. I don't foresee that happening.

Michigan State 28 Purdue 23- Purdue needs to win their last two to have a shot at making a bowl, but their dreams will be dashed by the Sparties.

Ohio State 31 Iowa 13- Without their starting QB and far away from home, the Hawkeyes get blown out.

Vikings 38 Lions 13- I'd bet Adrian Peterson has more total yards than the entire Lions offense.

Jared Greenleaf (2-2 last week, 22-14 overall)

Wisconsin 34 Michigan 10- Just like every other Big Ten team, the Badgers will have a field day with a despicable Wolverines defense. But there's always hope against the Buckeyes, right?

Michigan State 32 Purdue 28- Kirk Cousins and the Spartan receivers have a huge day in West Lafayette and the Spartans will finally win when I actually pick them.

Ohio State 27 Iowa 3- Without quarterback Ricky Stanzi, the Hawkeyes have no chance in this one. It's not like they have a chance against the stout Buckeye defense anyway.

Vikings 45 Lions 10- In the words of Dan Hicks: "Expect anything different?"

Aaron Brandt (2-2 last week, 22-14 overall)

Wisconsin 34 Michigan 17- Michigan is falling apart, and the atmosphere at Camp Randall will do nothing to help the wounded Wolverines.

Michigan State 27 Purdue 24- I still don't believe Purdue is for real, and the Spartans should be motivated by a Bowl possibility.

Ohio State 38 Iowa 31- I don't plan on doubting Pryor as much as I used to, but Iowa will still keep it close.

Vikings 36 Lions 21- I have zero faith in the Lions after last week. Brett Favre will laugh and throw four passes for touchdowns.
