So this weekend is going to be a fun one in the Big Ten. We have a lot of key match ups and I’m going to go over a couple of them and describe why it will be key for each team to pull out a win.
1) Lets start with my boys in West Lafayette, the boilers. Purdue is coming off a loss and needs to rebound if they still want a shot at another bowl game. They will be playing Michigan State, which has had a so-so season. They are now 5-5 overall and 1-5 in the Big Ten conference play. So they are playing for pride now. They probably won't make a bowl game and they won't for sure if they lose this weekend. So both teams have to win this weekend to keep that bowl appearance alive. The prediction on this one would have to be Purdue 27, Michigan State 17.
2) Ok so we have the Michigan Wolverines going to the Badgers home in Wisconsin to play another a big game. Michigan once again is at the top of the Big Ten with the Buckeyes, so they must win if they want a chance to play Ohio State, next weekend for the Big Ten title. If they do lose this weekend it’s almost a given that the Buckeyes will repeat as the Big Ten title winners. The Badgers need the win for a respectable Bowl appearance, plus this being the Badgers last home game the seniors should have something to prove by not letting the Wolverines come into their stadium and beat them. I'm thinking the score on this one is going to be a close one and I’m thinking the Badgers will come up with the upset and win 24 to 21.
3) The last match, which could be the biggest of this weekend, would have to be the Ohio State and Illinois game. Ohio State has so much on this game its unreal. They have not only the Big Ten title on the line, but they also have their shot at the National title on this game as well. They have to win out the rest of their games if they want to have a shot at the National title and Illinois is going to be the one to stop that chance. Illinois needs this win because if they do they would now have a shot at sharing the Big Ten title with Michigan and Ohio State. Now it would be slim that this would happen but if everything feel into place they could achieve the title, but first they would have to beat Ohio State. My prediction on this game would have to be Ohio State, 35, Illinois 21.

I really think Illnois can beat Ohio State. Illnois runs that spead offense and Ohio hasn't seen a offense like that yet this season. Of course Illnois will really have to come with there A game and get some turn overs, but its very possible for them to win and i wouldn't be to shocked if they really did.
