    Scares me that I think every Big Ten team could cover today
    I know they won't, and history says they don't do well in bowl games against fast SEC squads (or spread offenses like Houston and Oregon). However, in order, I could see each happening:

    1) Wisconsin +6 vs. Oregon
    2) Michigan State +3 vs. Georgia (though the 3.5 would have been better)
    3) Ohio State +2.5 (Florida is garbage; would be nice to get a 3 because there won't be much scoring)
    4) Nebraska +3 vs. South Carolina (Spurrier and SC have a pretty weak recent track record in bowl games, though their D may save them here)
    5) Penn State +8 vs. Houston (just not sure their offense can keep up, but what's Houston's motivation here?)

    I've only bet Wisconsin so far, and will probably take MSU small. I could see a solid Big Ten performance for once in these games though. None of their opponents are anything special.

    I'm betting that only 40% of them are going to cover.

      Nebraska won't. Everything else I can go for. Especially Ohio St.

          I think 3-2 at worst, but that's just me.

            I agree, like all BIG 10 teams, especially Penn St +7 and WI +5!

                  I like Penn State 1H and Ohio State. Not sure if I'll have a play on the others....

                    I took the three I mentioned above and also like Florida-Ohio State UNDER 45 points (-123) and Penn State +7.5 for a small play.

                      mich state best bet. georgia beat a d-2 team and 9 other unranked teams with a record of like 49-60. read that somewhere a couple of weeks ago, so it may not be 100% accurate...and i don't really care enough to look it up. mich state clearly the play based on sos and what they have done this year. georgia the play only if you bet them solely because of sec factor...which would have you sitting at 1-2 ats right now.
