The weekend, the one we’ve been waiting for since the start of the season, has finally arrived.
Saturday night’s battle between No. 4 Ohio State and No. 9 Penn State is the headliner of the weekend. With B1G and CFB Playoff implications on the line, it’s really the first “can’t miss” conference game of the season.
There are three other conference games to help us occupy our time this weekend, as well. Although in two of those games, Purdue vs. Nebraska and Indiana vs. Rutgers, both teams are looking for their first conference win.
Michigan State is the only team stepping out of conference play, taking on Central Michigan. Five B1G teams spend Saturday relaxing with off weeks.
Here are our Week 5 B1G picks against the spread, including Saturday’s showdown in Happy Valley.
Overall record (Week 4 record):
Connor O’Gara: 20-23 (4-3)
Dustin Schutte: 19-24 (4-3)
Andrew Kulha: 17-26 (2-5)
