THIS WEEK'S BEST BETS
MICHIGAN STATE AT NO. 25 MICHIGAN
Time, TV TBA, Saturday
The Spartans were the preseason Big Ten title favorites, but now they're 1-2 in the conference and pretty much relegated to being a spoiler in the Legends Division race. They could embrace that role by beating the Wolverines for the fifth consecutive time, but a statistical correction in the series seems more likely.
NEBRASKA AT NORTHWESTERN
Time, TV TBA, Saturday
Loser of this game will have two Big Ten losses and little chance to make the conference title game. Which Huskers team will show up: the one that rolled Wisconsin or the one that fell hard to Ohio State?
SATURDAY'S OTHER GAMES
Gophers at Wisconsin, 11 a.m., ESPNU
Purdue at No. 8 Ohio State, time, TV TBA
Penn State at Iowa, 7 p.m., BTN
Nonconference
Indiana at Navy, 2:30 p.m., CBS Sports Net.
