There are only a few days between us and the first B1G kickoff. That means finally predictions for the 2019 season are filtering in before the season gets underway.

Big Ten  Network analysts Howard Griffith and Nicole Auerbach (also of The Athletic), made their final B1G predictions for the conference champion at the end of the season. It sounds like it’s all coming down to The Game.

Griffith is still high on Ohio State, believing that Ryan Day gets the job done in his first season with the Buckeyes. Auerbach, on the other hand, thinks Michigan is the team to beat in the league. She’s a huge fan of the addition of Josh Gattis as offensive coordinator.

Right now, those are the two favorites to win the conference. Other potential picks have included Michigan State, Wisconsin and Iowa.

Below is the video of Griffith and Auerbach explaining their conference picks:
