No more non-conference spreads. Let’s celebrate that.

This is where things actually get interesting. Big Ten play means we should have some closer games, frustrating Vegas and the rest of the gambling world.

According to the CG Technology lines on VegasInsider.com, here’s how the B1G projects in Week 5:

Purdue vs. Michigan State (-23.5)

Minnesota vs. Northwestern (-5.5)

Iowa vs. No. 16 Wisconsin (-7)

Nebraska (-7) vs. Illinois

Ohio State (-21.5) vs. Indiana

Michigan actually opened as an 11.5-point favorite against Maryland, but that line quickly closed. Penn State came out as a 23-point favorite against Army, but that line is also closed.
