Rutgers Scarlet Knights 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Scarlet Knights

Rutgers makes the big jump from the AAC to the Big Ten this year. While no one can say the Big Ten is a strong football conference right now, it is a much better conference than the extremely weak AAC. The Scarlet Knights are likely to have their hands full this year.

Illinois Fighting Illini 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Fighting Illini

Illinois put their faith in Tim Beckman a couple years ago, and so far it hasn’t worked out. Tim Beckman is definitely on the hot seat now. If Illinois doesn’t win at least six games this year to become bowl eligible, I would expect Beckman to be on his way out of Champaign.

Purdue Boilermakers 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Boilermakers

Purdue had the worst season in its 126 year football career last year. The Boilermakers went 1-11 overall and 0-8 in the Big Ten Conference. Purdue was one of the worst teams the Big Ten has ever seen.

Ohio State Buckeyes 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Buckeyes

Ohio State started last year 12-0 before losing their last two games of the season to Michigan State and Clemson. For a team with such lofty expectations, even a 12 win season felt like a bit of a disappointment.

Michigan Wolverines 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Wolverines

Michigan fans are never going to be satisfied with a 7-6 season. Brady Hoke came in and turned the program around right away, but now Michigan is struggling to keep their success going under Hoke. In his first year, the team went 11-2. In the past two years, they have gone 8-5 and then 7-6.

Iowa Hawkeyes 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Hawkeyes

Iowa went 11-2 in 2009, but they haven’t won more than eight games since that season. The Hawkeyes had a quality 8-5 season last year. Their first three losses came against teams that lost a combined one game in the regular season (Northern Illinois, Ohio State, and Michigan State).

Minnesota Golden Gophers 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Gophers

It would be tough to find a coach who has gotten more out of less than Jerry Kill. Well Bill Snyder would fit the bill, but outside of Snyder I can’t think of anyone who fits any more than Jerry Kill.

Penn State Nittany Lions 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Nittany Lions

Bill O’Brien did a tremendous job holding together the Penn State football program through an extremely difficult period. There were many who thought it was the impossible job, but O’Brien did a great job getting his players to believe. O’Brien has moved on to be a head coach in the NFL.

Northwestern Wildcats 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Wildcats

Northwestern was unbeaten and ranked 16th in the nation heading into their home contest against Ohio State last year. They ended up losing in heartbreaking fashion despite playing very well, and after that loss Northwestern’s season would never be the same.

Wisconsin Badgers 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Badgers

Gary Andersen’s first year in the Big Ten went pretty well, though expectations in Madison have been awfully high so not everyone was happy with a 9-4 season. Wisconsin lost in heartbreaking (and frankly just downright disgustingly cruel) fashion to Arizona State thanks to a referee screw up.

Michigan State Spartans 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Spartans

If you ever doubted Mark Dantonio before, you definitely shouldn’t anymore. Dantonio has done an amazing job at Michigan State. Keep in mind this was a program in disarray when he arrived. John L. Smith had driven them in the ground with back to back ugly seasons before Dantonio totally righted the ship.

Nebraska Cornhuskers 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Cornhuskers

Nebraska fans are split on Bo Pelini. There are a bunch of Cornhuskers fans who really don’t like the guy at all and want him canned in no time. On the other hand, there are a decent amount of fans who appreciate the hard nosed spirit he brings to Lincoln and hope he stays around for forever. Pelini is back for another year.

Indiana Hoosiers 2014 NCAA Football Gambling Odds & Predictions

2014-15 Football Previews – (Big 10) – Hoosiers

Indiana was pegged by many as a team that should be one of the most improved in the country last year. They did improve to 5-7, but they fell short of their goal of reaching a bowl game. Indiana had just one win in 2011. They won four games in 2012 and five games in 2013.
