Florida has named Wisconsin washout Graham Mertz as the starting QB. I think they’ve doomed themselves. I am not a believer in Mertz. I think he makes teams worse, not better.

This is a Florida team that went 5-7 last year… with the #4 overall draft pick at QB. Billy Napier will be on the hot seat going into week 5 …

Baylor is good. Other than that, I don’t have much to say. 

As a middle of the Big 12 team, they can beat anyone they play, and they can lose to anyone they play. Picking this schedule is like throwing darts with …

These will be my record predictions for the back half of the ACC AND Notre Dame. I will list every game for the predictions, but the primary takeaway should be the final record. We will also compare my predictions to the over/under win total for each team to see how the betting public feels about the ACC.

A very middle of the road ACC team is going to do middle of the road ACC things. Losing their QB to Notre Dame in the transfer portal will cause a step back in 2023.

Vanderbilt isn’t the automatic win Wake …

Wisco Wednesday – Tolly Predicts: What to Expect From The B1G West – A WOF Series Crossover

Who is winning the West? What will the order of finish be? Who is making a bowl game?

These will be my record predictions for the Big Ten West. I will list every game for the predictions, but the primary takeaway should be the final record. We will also compare my predictions to the over/under win total for each team to see how the betting public feels about the B1G West.

*Odds listed refer to spreads taken from DraftKings at the time of writing

7th – Northwestern – O/U win total: 3 (via FOX Bet – not listed on DraftKings)

At Rutgers (Sunday) – L

UTEP – L

At Duke – L

Minnesota – L

Penn State – L

Howard (HC) – W

Bye

At Nebraska – L

Maryland – L

Vs Iowa (Wrigley Field) – L

At Wisconsin – L

Purdue – L

At Illinois – L

After the hazing scandal, and the firing of head coach Pat Fitzgerald, 4 players have transferred out and 6 have decommitted. Morale has to be at an all time low. I don’t see how Northwestern beats a single FBS opponent.

I expect things to get worse, not better.

Record: 1-11 (0-9)

Pick:

Tolly Predictions: What to Expect From the B1G East

Who is winning the East? What will the order of finish be? Who is making a bowl game?

These will be my record predictions for the Big Ten East. I will list every game for the predictions, but the primary takeaway should be the final record. We will also compare my predictions to the over/under win total for each team to see how the betting public feels about the B1G East.

7th – Indiana – O/U win total: 3.5

Ohio State – L

Indiana State (Friday) – W

vs Louisville (Indianapolis) – L

Akron – W

At Maryland – L

Bye

At Michigan – L

Rutgers (HC) – L

At Penn State – L

Wisconsin – L

At Illinois – L

Michigan State – L

At Purdue – L

For the skeptic who thinks I’m being harsh with this prediction, there are 2 games I could see going the other way. The first is at Purdue, but only if Purdue has a late season collapse. And the other is home vs Rutgers if Rutgers has a mid season collapse. 

Indiana is bad; Tom Allen is likely coaching his last year there.

Record: 2-10 (0-9)

Pick: Under 3.5

6th – Rutgers
