Big Ten Picks for Saturday

Almost forget to do these, and in order to not bump my preview, I'm putting it in the fan posts section.

Indiana at Illinois (-12), 1 PM, ESPN2

I keep going back and forth on this game, as while Indiana is really bad away from home, 12 points is a lot and Illinois hasn't shown the ability to blow teams out. I guess I'll take Illinois but I don't love it.

Pick: Illinois

Iowa at Michigan (-13), 3:30 PM, BTN

Iowa has been playing very well, 3-2 in their last five with the two losses close games against Ohio State and Michigan State. Michigan is coming off the heartbreaking loss to Michigan State and may be ready to throw in the towel on their season. Taking Iowa on the road is always dicey, but I'm going to do it here.

Pick: Iowa
