Predicting the week seven matchups in the Big Ten

Iowa football travels to West Lafayette, Indiana this week to take on the Purdue Boilermakers. The Iowa Hawkeyes enter the game as heavy favorites but have been anything but dominating over their past four games. Although, they’ll look to change their luck against a 3-2 Purdue team.

Along with Iowa and Purdue, the Big Ten has a great slate of games in week seven. The headliner is between two top-10 teams in Ohio State and Wisconsin. ESPN’s College Gameday will even be attending Camp Randall this week, so the nation will be watching to see who Lee Corso selects as his headgear pick.

In total, the Big Ten has six games. No team is taking on a non-conference opponent. All six games are conference games that could have a huge effect on the conference standings. Both divisions are still highly contested between multiple teams, making this an extremely important week as we reach the halfway point of the season.

With only two Big Ten teams favored by double-digit points, there should be a lot of good games. Here’s a preview and prediction for every game in the Big Ten this week.
