Ohio State (3-1) hosts Michigan State(3-1) in the last game before the Buckeyes get the "Tattoo Five" back next week.
The Spartans looked pretty weak against Notre Dame,but this is the conference opener and Michigan State is looking for a big name to place on their belt.
This is a winnable game for OSU,but I am still not convinced of their offense yet....
Texas Tech opens Big 12 play against the weakest team in the conference in the Kansas Jayhawks.
The 3-0 Red Raiders went down to the wire against Nevada last week and raised defensive questions.
Can the 2-1 Jayhawks take advantage of those weaknesses?
3-1 Bowling Green has a chance to make a huge impression in their trip to Morgantown for a tussle against Uncle Elmer and Hillbilly Jim and the rest of the 3-1 and 22nd ranked West Virginia Mountaineers.
West Virginia will likely be quite angry after their rump kicking by LSU last week,but the Falcons might be able to hang in the game for a while.
It is payback time for 4th ranked and 3-0 Boise State against the only team to beat them in the last two years 1-2 Nevada.
Last years game had its share of controversy and I am sure Nevada feels like they have a shot between last seasons win and last weeks near miss against Texas Tech.
This is in Boise and looks like a blood war in the making....
The game of the week has four pretty good choices,but lets go with Nebraska's first Big Ten game against the class of the league this season in the Wisconsin Badgers.
Barry Alvarez patterned the entire program at UW after the Huskers and this should be a fast moving game with two teams based on the run.
Enjoy this one as they might play again in the Big Ten title game (bleech)....
The 2-1 Cleveland Browns host the 2-1 Tennessee Titans in the last game before the bye.
These byes come way too early,I would much prefer one week off for everyone in the middle of the season.
Fair for all and best way to do it.
The Titans lost their best (Only?) receiver for the year in Kenny Britt and should rely on Chris Johnson.
Want to pick the lock of the day?The team that rushes for more yards in this one-wins....
The 1-2 Seattle Seahawks took a huge leap backwards in the Andrew Luck derby with their win last week,but I bet they fall back in line as they host the 1-2 Atlanta Falcons.
Visiting teams struggle at Qwest Field,but I see a big day for Matt Ryan,Roddy White and company this week.
Game of the week goes to the Sunday night game with the 2-1 New York Jets visiting the 2-1 Baltimore Ravens.
The Jets flopped last week in Oakland and return to the road again.
Were the Jets looking forward to Rex Ryan's return to Baltimore?
Looks like a low scoring,hard hitting games that should feature lots of Ray Lewis celebrating tackles that he did not make,but did manage to dive into the pile for....
