Another week of Big Ten football is ahead of us, with conference play kicking off in some part of the league -- which makes it only trickier to predict who will be coming out on top.
The Spartans Wire crew is rolling one with our weekly picks against the spread, with a prediction registered for each Big Ten game. For the Spartans, we have mixed feelings on how they'll do against the Fighting Irish as massive underdogs. But let's not focus too much on that potential lopsided matchup coming up on Saturday night...
