00:00Wisconsin and Michigan open up at 15-and-a-half, Joe.

00:03Seeing that rise to 17-and-a-half across the board.

00:06A total, a low total, 42-and-a-half.

00:09The Derry Raid turned, ground game turned.

00:12Will they get blown out today?

00:13Yeah, I hope not.

00:14I'm on Wisconsin with the points.

00:16So a couple things.

00:17Billy Edwards, again, the transfer from Maryland is out.

00:20The starting center for Wisconsin is out.

00:22They're going with backups.

00:23But it's Danny O'Neal for Wisconsin.

00:26They're going to have to run the football, try and shorten the game.

00:28We know Bryce Underwood and this offense are explosive right now.

00:32But, again, Luke Fickok, he's going back to this, Danny.

00:35He's on the hot seat.

00:36He doesn't have a marquee win in Camp Randall and Madison since he's got there.

00:42When is this team going to step up?

00:44I mean, give me a break.

00:46Again, I don't know if they win, but going into a Big Ten environment,

00:49one of the toughest places to play in the big house, they have to show up.

00:54They got abused by Maryland.

00:55Turnovers hurt them.

00:56Again, I think they're alive.

00:59Now that we're through a key number of 17, up to 17 and a half,

01:03I like Wisconsin in this matchup.

01:05We'll see.

01:05Another low total.

01:06And, again, Joe, let's roll it right over and keep it in the Big Ten,

01:08Ohio State and Minnesota.

01:10Guess what, Joe?

01:11Another low total at 42 and a half.

01:13Now, these are the games I like to ask you questions about outside the X's and O's.

01:17That was an awesome environment last year that most Ohio State players aren't used to.

01:21Going out to Washington, picking up that big victory,

01:23now coming home back into the horseshoe and favor Joe by over three touchdowns,

01:27sitting at 23 and a half.

01:29That low total, big stakes, big environment last week.

01:32Do we see a sort of letdown, or is that defense just saying,

01:34you know what, you ain't scoring on us today?

01:36That defense is so impressive right now, especially in red zone opportunities.

01:41They are the number one defense.

01:43Are they the number one team up until this point?

01:45Absolutely.

01:45They've beaten everybody on their schedule, and when you have Jeremiah Smith in the lineup,

01:51he's the best player in college football from what I've seen through six weeks of the regular season.

01:55That being said, you have a Minnesota offense that put up 31 against Rutgers.

02:00They win it 31-28.

02:02My heart wants to take Minnesota in this spot because of a letdown.

02:06I just can't do it.

02:06What I can take, though, Donnie, 42 and a half in this game.

02:10I think Ohio State potentially could get that themselves.

02:13Low score is expected in the Big Ten.

02:16We'll see if they buck that trend today.
