Coming off of a nice win over Penn State, P.J. Fleck and Minnesota must make the dangerous trek to Iowa City to face the Hawkeyes. Should the Gophers win, they will be one win away from securing a trip to Indianapolis entering Week 13. But with an undefeated season, Minnesota is currently aiming even higher.

For Michigan State and Michigan, this season has disintegrated to varying degrees of disappointment. Michigan has already secured a bowl at the very least while the Spartans fell to 4-5 with a meltdown against Illinois. A loss would further cement a bad season for either team, but a win would at least give in-state bragging rights to the victor.

Heading into Week 12, here are the opening lines for all the B1G action, courtesy of Vegas Insider:

  • Penn State (-14.5) vs Indiana
  • Ohio State (-50.5) vs Rutgers
  • Iowa (-3) vs Minnesota
  • Northwestern (-40) vs UMass
  • Michigan (-12) vs Michigan State
  • Wisconsin (-13) vs Nebraska
