1) Illinois (+2)
W at Rutgers, W vs #11 FAU (N)
The new number one is definitely deserving. Illinois is very much the hottest team in the Big Ten and Terrence Shannon Jr has them rolling.
2) Purdue (-1)
W vs Texas Southern, L at Northwestern, W vs Iowa
Is Purdue still the favorite? Probably. But Purdue is repeating last season almost exactly. If that’s the case, we like the winning the big ten part but that other part...
3) Northwestern (+2)
W vs #1 Purdue
When you take down the king, you rise.
