2013 Big 10
College Football
Conference
Team Previews
2013 Minnesota Gophers Football Betting Preview – The Gophers made it to a bowl Game last year, so many would think they had a decent season. That’s not entirely the case as the only Conference wins they had were over Purdue and Illinois.
Iowa Hawkeyes 2013 College Football Preview – Iowa returns plenty of starters for the new season, but that’s not saying a lot after the Hawkeyes finished with their worst season in quite some time at 4-8. They dropped their last six Games of the season after winning at Michigan State.
2013 Indiana Hoosiers College Football Preview with Schedule and Odds – Having Four wins may not look that great, but considering Indiana only had one in 2011, it’s quite a step forward. Not to mention, the Hoosiers lost Four Games by Four points or less last year.
2013 Illinois College Football Betting Preview with Odds – There weren’t a ton of positives from Tim Beckman’s first year as the Illini’s coach. Actually, there probably weren’t any as Illinois went 2-10 and didn’t win a Game in Conference play.
2013 Purdue College Football Betting Preview – It’s been obvious to Purdue how much bowl Games tend to mean these days, not a whole lot. Even after two straight bowl appearances, the Boilermakers went another direction and hired Darrell Hazell as the new head coach out of Kent State.
2013 Wisconsin College Football Preview with Schedule and Odds – This should prove to be quite an interesting and important season for the Badgers. Not many are figuring them to be very good, but let’s not forget this team has been to three straight Rose Bowl’s and is returning 15 starters.
2013 Ohio State College Football Betting Preview – The Buckeyes are planning another undefeated season, but this time it involves a BCS National Championship. With the majority of its offense coming back and plenty of players coming in through recruitment, Ohio State is ready to make a dent in the national scene with Urban Meyer.
2013 Penn State Football Betting Preview with Schedule and Odds – Not many had high expectations for Penn State entering the 2012 season and it looked like it was going to be a rough one early on following two straight losses. However, Bill O’Brien got his troops together and proceeded to bust out an 8-4 record and respectable 6-2 in Conference play.
2013 Northwestern College Football Preview with Odds and Schedule – If you follow college football, it should be a known fact that Northwestern just won their first bowl Game since 1949. Not only that, but they have now been to five straight bowls and won 10 Games for just the third time in school history last year.
2013 Nebraska College Football Betting Preview – Nebraska is alongside the two Michigan schools in fighting for the Legends Division out of the Big Ten. At this point, it’s a three-way tie between the schools and most oddsmakers actually agree on that. The Cornhuskers had yet another solid, respectable season, but weren’t really recognized on a national level
2013 Michigan Wolverines Football Preview with Odds and Schedule – Michigan’s stock continues to rise in the preseason much like it has since Brady Hoke took over two years ago. Even though they finished with an 8-5 record last year, many could say it was better than 2011’s 11-2 record.
2013 Michigan State Football Preview with Odds – It’s interesting that Michigan State are favorites or near favorites for most oddsmakers to win the Big Ten Legends Division this year, yet they aren’t getting any recognition in the early preseason polls from the media. It doesn’t quite add up, but in most places, the odds point to the Spartans having a better season than in 2012.
