Big Jeff's Insights: Week 5 Big Ten Shocks & Week 6 Picks
Dive into the chaos of Big Ten football with JR and Jeff on The Big Ten Huddle! In this can't-miss episode of Big Jeff's Insights, we break down Week 5's shocking upsets—Illinois stunning USC 34-32, Oregon edging Penn State 30-24 in overtime, and Ohio State's dominant 24-6 road win over Washington that snapped the Huskies' 22-game home streak. Jeff delivers deep dives on key takeaways: Why Drew Allar's limitations exposed Penn State's offensive ceiling, how Indiana's gritty 20-15 win at Iowa cements them as playoff contenders despite O-line concerns, and USC's ongoing discipline issues ranking them 125th nationally in penalties.
Year-to-date, Jeff's picks sit at 12-13, but with conference play heating up, Week 5's non-con surprises are clarifying the standings—Illinois back in the Top 25 mix, Indiana at 5-0 under Curt Cignetti's 89% win rate, and Minnesota sneaking a 31-28 thriller over Rutgers. Don't miss Jeff's bold Week 6 Big Ten picks against the spread (all odds via FanDuel):
Ohio State -23.5 over Minnesota: High-confidence rout in a high-energy night game, projecting 42-10.
Michigan -16.5 over Wisconsin: Wolverines dominate the trenches, 31-10 call.
Illinois -9.5 over Purdue: Close one-score battle, but Illini edge it 34-27.
Washington -5.5 over Maryland: Huskies cover on the road despite travel woes, 31-23.
Nebraska -10.5 over Michigan State: Lock City upset-proof, 31-24 Huskers win.
Plus, insights on motivation matchups, injury impacts (like Minnesota's RB woes), and why Penn State's bye week is make-or-break for James Franklin. Whether you're betting Big Ten Week 6 games or just hyped for college football predictions, this Week 5 recap and preview has it all.
