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:
