Ad Disclosure
I’ll admit that I was a bit of a coward last year.
We didn’t do picks against the spread, and right around Week 4, I felt like I was cheating you, the reader, by not having picks against the spread. Picking Ohio State to beat UNLV isn’t worth reading. And if I did pick a 40-point underdog to win outright, I probably had a column telling you why I was insane.
So the thinking was that this year, we’d pick games against the spread. It would be a better look at every game, and in all likelihood, we’d have some variance in our picks.
The former happened. The latter did not.
Through three weeks, here’s where we stand:
SEASON
- O’Gara: 21-15
- Schutte: 20-16
- Kroeger: 20-16
And yeah, last week there wasn’t a lot of variance:
LAST WEEK
- Schutte: 6-4
- O’Gara: 5-5
- Kroeger: 5-5
Here are the seven B1G games this week to pick against the spread:
