6:00PM CST: Wisconsin Badgers -1.5 vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights; Total 157
A huge Big Ten game to kick off the first Big Monday of the season! Wisconsin is coming off a huge win against Iowa where they shot the lights out of the gym. Rutgers is trying to get the ship back on track in conference play after losing to Indiana without star frosh Dylan Harper. Rutgers is a completely different team when playing at home in the RAC. I like to fade teams that shot as well as Wisconsin did against Iowa, scoring 116 points and now having to go on the road in a tough environment. These Rutgers rims just bounce a little differently for the road team. Give me Rutgers.

8:00PM CST: Ohio State Buckeyes -5 vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers; Total 138
Ohio State dropped the ball the last time we had them against Michigan State. Now, they will be playing a Gophers team that's really down right now. Minnesota has had Ohio State's number, but I don’t see it this year. Minnesota has been blown out by Purdue, Indiana, and Michigan State. Ohio State is next. I just hope they aren’t looking ahead to Oregon on Thursday. I’ll take my chances.

8:00PM CST: TCU Horned Frogs vs. Houston Cougars -18; Total 129
TCU had a good showing against Arizona on the road, but Houston will be a much better defensive team. Will the TCU offense be able to keep this one close against Houston? I think so. 18 points is a bit too many, and this may be an overreaction to Houston killing BYU. BYU lost the majority of their team, and I wasn’t too surprised to see that score. I was impressed with TCU against U of A. I think we get a grinder game. Low scoring.
