Staff Report

It was an ugly week for those of us picking games last week. Only one of our experts was able to get more than half of their selections correct and that was WQAD’s Matt Randazzo, who went 4-2 on the week.

The rest of the group was mired at 3-3, except for Torbee, who was 2-4 on the week. Overall, Matt Randazzo is now the leader for the season with a 32-10 record, which is one game better than Blair Sanderson and RDietz.

This week along with picking the Minnesota/Iowa game, we have five really good games to pick.

Penn State at Ohio State

TCU at ISU

Nebraska at Purdue

Michigan State at Northwestern

Oklahoma State at West Virginia

TOM KAKERT (3-3 last week, 27-15 overall)

I think Penn State is the better team. I think Ohio State wins because it’s at home.

Give me the Horned Frogs.

Worried the Boilers might be hitting the wall, but they will beat Nebraska.

Think this will be an ugly game with the Spartans winning.

I’ll take the Cowboys, who pick up a big road win.

I have Iowa 24-14 over the Gophers. Pick to click is Akrum Wadley.

MATT RANDAZZO (4-2, 32-10 overall)
