Illinois 21, Minnesota 21

Why not? – Anthony Zilis

Illinois 31, Minnesota 20

UI has lost nearly every game I picked as a W in the preseason, and I picked them to lose to the Gophers … – Peter Zervakis

Minnesota 27, Illinois 24

Should have gone with my heart last week, but Minnesota’s offense looked ridiculous against Michigan State. – Jay Lee

No. 4 Iowa

Iowa 23, Northwestern 22

Knowing the Hawkeyes, they’ll rally with two touchdowns in the final minute for the win. – Cody Westerlund

Iowa 28, Northwestern 27

Iowa goes down 27-10 and makes a somewhat miraculous comeback.

– Anthony Zilis

Iowa 28, Northwestern 17

Iowa will stumble at some point this year, before getting throttled in Pasadena. But it won’t be against the Wildcats. – Peter Zervakis

Iowa 17, Northwestern 10

Iowa is a 16.5-point favorite­— a little ridiculous for a team that really should be 4-5 right now. – Jay Lee

Maybe Terrelle should’ve gotten advice from Kobe instead of LeBron … just a thought. – Anthony Zilis

North Carolina 31, Duke 17

Obligitory basketball reference. – Anthony Zilis

North Carolina 37, Duke 12

Duke is decent, but UNC’s defense is on another level. This one’s not even close. – Peter Zervakis

Duke 21, North Carolina 14

The fact that Duke will be bowl-bound while the Illini most likely aren’t makes me want to cry myself to sleep. – Jay Lee
