Pick Analysis. 1-1. 10. 810. Scouting Report. Last Week: L 34-31 OT @ Colorado. Nebraska Cornhuskers. player

A lot of hype surrounded the Nebraska Cornhuskers entering the 2019 season but with an overtime loss to Colorado in Week 2, the Cornhuskers still appear to be a year or two away from being a serious contender for the Big Ten Title. Nebraska takes on Northern Illinois in Week 3 in their final non-conference game of the season.

Last Week: W 42-24 vs Vanderbilt. player. 848. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 1-1. Purdue Boilermakers. 9

Following their disappointing loss in the season opener, the Purdue Boilermakers picked up an easy win over Vanderbilt. Rondale Moore was electric and continued to show why he’s one of the best players in the nation. Purdue plays TCU in Week 3, a true test of what direction the Purdue football program is headed towards.

Last Week: Bye. Northwestern Wildcats. 8. 882. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 0-1. player

The Northwestern Wildcats spent Week 2 at home following their season opening loss to Stanford. The Wildcats should easily pick up their first win of the season in Week 3 as they host UNLV in their second non-conference game to start the season.

2-0. Last Week: W 51-17 vs Western Michigan. 7. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Michigan State Spartans. 805

The performance by the Michigan State Spartans in Week 2 was as expected: A big performance by both the offense and defense. But what would’ve made this win a whole lot better was if they would have left those hideous uniforms on the design table and worn something a little bit more traditional. The Spartans look to get revenge from their 2018 loss to Arizona State this Saturday.
