Rotation # 286
Texas +6 over Ohio State (loss)
Ohio State played one of the best first halves of football in the Rose Bowl, defeating the Ducks before people could get into their seats. Texas allowed Arizona State to make a comeback in the Peach Bowl and eventually won it in overtime. There is no doubt who the public is backing after watching last week’s games. The money is heavy on the Buckeyes. Last week has nothing to do with today. Texas is the number three team in the country with an outstanding defense. Ohio State is ranked sixth, and their defense is top-notch. It’s a good spot to play the UNDER, but then again, so was last night’s game. Texas is getting healthier on the offensive line and should be able to run the ball with Quintevion Wisner. Quinn Ewers is a veteran QB who will find open targets. We will take a shot at the generous underdog. Take Texas.

Rotation #890
Wisconsin -12.5 over Minnesota (win)
Everything about tonight’s game favors the Badgers. Wisconsin is the better team that played a more demanding schedule. The Badgers’ offense and defense are better. Greg Gard has his squad playing efficient offense while maintaining their standard of lockdown defensive play. Minnesota is not a good team this year. They haven’t played much on the road and should be overwhelmed in Madison tonight. Max Klesmit might miss tonight’s game for the Badgers, but guards John Tonje and John Blackwell have been playing well. Tonight’s matchup is one team being too good for the other. I am not a fan of high spreads, but after 40 minutes, the Badgers should seal a double-digit win. Take Wisconsin.
