Week 9 of the college football season is done and over with. We’re on to Week 10.
However, among B1G teams, there are only four games on the schedule. Michigan-Maryland, Nebraska-Purdue, Rutgers-Illinois and Northwestern-Indiana.
Not exactly thrilling across the board, I know.

But, what about Week 11? Those games will be played on November 9, and one of them already stands out. Undefeated Penn State must travel to take on unbeaten Minnesota. Yeah, we’ll be watching that one.
On Tuesday, Vegas point spreads were released for some of the Week 11 matchups and Penn State-Minnesota was one of them:

The Nittany Lions, despite being on the road, are anticipated to be a nearly touchdown favorite over the Golden Gophers. Sure, Penn State may have more overall talent and speed, but that doesn’t necessarily win football games.
It’s worked so far for Penn State, that’s for sure. But, Minnesota’s been winning its way all year long as well.
Who do you think should be favored?
