Another week in the books. Wesd2005 and Precious Roy had the most bingos this week with two, and the latter has separated himself from the pack, now holding a 2-bingo lead on the field on the season. Green 96, though, had 18 spaces hit, tied for third-most this year. The two above him, vaudvillain and Precious Roy, each had 19, and combined for 7 bingos out of it. Green 96 got one. All about where you put those spaces, I guess.

Speaking of which, I decided to put the Minnesota game front and center last week, putting all of the lines on my downward diagonal. So, all things considered, I’m happy to have gotten a bingo out of the week. I know you’re not here to listen to me talk about myself, though, so here’s your leaderboard.

Last bit of housekeeping: P4 (Talia vs Mertz passing yards) was a push (with 77 yards each!), but I specifically said Talia would have MORE than Mertz, and he didn’t, so that was an N. Korsak’s PISS was higher than Robbins, though neither had a great day (34.115 vs 27.880), so P7 was a Y. I feel like there was one more, but now I can’t remember. Let me know if I made any errors. Now, here’s this week’s lines.

Spreads

  1. Indiana Hoosiers @ Ohio State (-40)
  2. Purdue Boilermakers @ Illinois Fighting Illini (-6.5)

  5. Maryland Terrapins @ Penn State Nittany Lions (-10)
  6. Wisconsin Badgers (-1.5) @ Iowa Hawkeyes
  7. Northwestern Wildcats @ Minnesota Gophers (-17.5)

Props

  1. Ohio State records greater than 600 offensive yards
  2. Charlie Jones scores more touchdowns than Brown OR PUSH

  3. Four or more games end with fewer than 40 total points
  4. Rutgers, Maryland, or Nebraska win their game
  5. Ohio State wins by more than Michigan (or loses by less, I guess)
