Last week was as embarrassing for my picks as it was for the Big Ten. I was sent out of Week 3 with my tail between my legs, but regrouped and got it together for this week.
Now, these underwhelming and disappointing teams start to face each other, so let’s see who is going to make me look bad heading into the star of conference play.
Season overall: 20-24
Here we go again.
Friday, Sept. 21
No. 10 Penn State (-28) at Illinois, 9 p.m., Fox Sports 1
Penn State may be the second-best team in the conference right now and Illinois is in for a long Friday.
