The B1G football season is underway, and what an opening weekend!
After a week of play, and some surprises, the conference landscape has yet to completely take shape heading into Week 2.
The showdown between national championship contender Ohio State, and Penn State – who was expected to give the Buckeyes a challenge for the top spot, will be at the top of most “must-watch” lists. The Buckeyes are coming off a dominant showing over Nebraska, while the Nittany Lions will be looking to bounce back after a blown lead against Indiana.
Also of note next week, the rivalry matchup between Michigan and Michigan State is always exciting, and watch for Minnesota to try and bounce back after dropping their opener at home against the Wolverines.
While we get ready for week two, the opening spreads have been set, courtesy of Vegas Insider:
Minnesota (-18) vs Maryland
Michigan (-24) vs Michigan State
Indiana (-13) vs Rutgers
Ohio State (-8) vs Penn State
Purdue (-4) vs Illinois
Iowa (-3.5) vs Northwestern
Wisconsin (-10.5) vs Nebraska
