Ohio State vs Northwestern Saturday, Nov. 5, Noon ET (ABC)
Northwestern has allowed two of its last three opponents to complete 70% of their passes and now the Wildcats face C.J. Stroud and the high-powered Ohio State offense.
When the teams last played in 2020, Northwestern (1-7, 1-4 Big Ten) held the Buckeyes to 114 passing yards with no TD passes and two interceptions. It would be quite the story if the Wildcats do anything close to that on Saturday. BET ON COLLEGE FOOTBALL - Deposit $200 and Get $250!
Stroud leads the nation with a 200.16 passer rating and is tied for the national lead with 29 TD passes. Emeka Egbuka and Marvin Harrison Jr. have 788 and 783 receiving yards, respectively, for Ohio State (8-0, 5-0). Northwestern is averaging just 17.9 points and has failed to score touchdowns in 10 of its 26 drives into the red zone. That is a recipe for disaster with the way Ohio State can put up points.
Ohio State has won nine games in a row against Northwestern. However, the Wildcats have covered in two of the last four meetings.
Minnesota vs Nebraska Saturday, Nov. 5, Noon ET (ESPN2)
Nebraska ranks last in the Big Ten with 190.1 rushing yards allowed per game and 4.75 yards per rushing attempt. That could spell trouble when facing Minnesota’s Mohamed Ibrahim, the third-leading rusher in the Big Ten.
The Cornhuskers (3-5, 2-3 Big Ten) are coming off a season-low 248 yards on offense and 60 rushing yards in last week’s loss to Illinois. Will they have better success against a Minnesota defense that is fifth in the Big Ten in total defense Minnesota (5-3, 2-3) has lost starting quarterback Tanner Morgan and receiver Chris Autman-Bell to season-ending injuries.
Minnesota has covered in seven of its last 10 road games while Nebraska is 2-7 against the college football odds over its last nine matchups.
