Week 4: Real Picks of Genius

Each week I will be posting my predictions for every Big Ten game game as well asa few of the out of conference.  As always these will be accompanied by related (not really) YouTube videos.


My record: Overall 33-8, Big Ten 27-5

Only predicted one game incorrectly on the blog last week.  Too bad it was the only game I really wanted to be right about. 

This week I am actually doing my youtube videos all from one source: the Bud Light Real Men of Genius/ Real American Heroes Commericals.  Face it, not only does this conference slate really suck, but there is not much commentary I can make about these games that is different since the vast majority should be blowouts.  So instead of tediously finding something that vaguely communicates that each Big Ten team will (likely) win this I chose the Bud Light commercials. 

Why those Bud Light commercials?  Well, think of it as an ode the the REAL men of genius who made this boring as hell conference slate.  So crack open a Bud Light you sultan's of scheduling, because of you my Big Ten Saturday will be every bit as soul crushing as my 9:30 am Globalization and the Media Class.


 Indiana v Akron

Indiana at least has some pep and hope left so far this season.  That has to count for something.
Pick: Indiana


Iowa v Ball State
 
This one always cheers me up, just like how this game will cheer up Hawkeye Nation.
Pick: Iowa


Michigan v Bowling Green

Honestly, when Big Ten play rolls around next week, a bottle of sun block will probably give Denard Robinson more protection than his offensive line will.
Pick: Michigan


Michigan State  v  Northern Colorado

The mascot and t-shirt cannon will probably be more entertaining to watch than this game.
Pick: Michigan State


Minnesota v Northern Illinois

Two weeks ago Minnesota lost to South Dakota.  Last week it was USC.  This week, they are a ticking upset time bomb.
Pick: Minnesota


Northwestern v Central Michigan
 
Northwestern is a football team that baffles the human mind, a Big Ten team that plays in a high school football stadium.
Pick: Northwestern


Ohio State v Eastern Michigan

I am sure Ohio State fans would hate being compared to Wolverines, but the line, "why pay for a souvenier, when you can fight for one" is all Buckeye.
Pick: Ohio State


Penn State v Temple

People said Temple couldn't go to a bowl game, but Al Golden dared to dream.  However, I still see them falling to a far more talented Penn State squad on the road.
Pick: Penn State


Purdue v Toledo

Considering the offenses that Purdue and Toledo run, the first down marker guys are going to get a workout running up and down the field in this one.
Pick: Purdue


Wisconsin v Austin Peay

People doing random activities while running around naked.  Of all the college campuses in the Big Ten, I think we can agree Madison would be the least surprising place to see that in.
Pick: Wisconsin

 
 Other Games:
South Carolina at Auburn
Oregon State at Boise State
Miami at Pittsburgh
