Week 7 B1G Picks: Can home underdogs pull off upsets?
Published:
Some weeks, you just can’t do anything right.
That was my story in a Week 6 filled with bad calls. A 2-4 mark was the result of an odd week in the B1G. Purdue beat someone and Michigan State lost at home to an unranked team. The two others were just bad guesses in coin flip games.
This week, that could happen again. Honestly, all six games could go either way.
With that in mind, here’s hoping to avoid an 0-6 week.
Last week
Connor: 2-4
Dustin: 4-2
Season
Connor: 40-18
Dustin: 44-14
