Week 5 B1G Picks: Who remains unbeaten in conference play?
Published:
Palm, meet face.
Last week, I spent this section writing about how betting against Mark Dantonio was such a foolish idea. How could I ever do such a thing? I declared that it should be a rule all of us follow, no matter what the circumstances are.
Then Wisconsin happened.
If you actually read this part and don’t just skip to the picks — I have your team losing — then kudos. You have earned the right to call me out for my boneheaded move to assume MSU was back to looking like MSU. I give you the green light to troll me or tell me I should find another hobby. You see what happens when you read?
So before I make another dumb proclamation, here are our Week 5 B1G picks:
Last week
Connor O’Gara: 4-3
Dustin Schutte: 5-2
Season
Connor: 34-11
