Week 1 Big Ten Football Picks of the Week (WEEKLY REVIEW)
Big Jeff’s Week 1 record vs the FanDuel spread for my Top 5 Big Ten games (below) was 3-2. I will take that given all the unknowns in the first games of college football.
(Odds by FanDuel on 8/25/25).
Week 1 and Year-to-Date: 3-2
- Nebraska -6.5 Cincinnati (Neutral site at Kansas City) – The Pick: Nebraska LOST (Nebraska 20 Cincy 17)
- #3 OHIO STATE -2.5 #1 Texas – The Pick: Texas LOST (OSU 14 Texas 7)
- MARYLAND -14.5 Florida Atlantic. The Pick: Maryland WON (Maryland 39 FAU 7)
- TULANE -5.5 Northwestern The Pick: Tulane WON (Tulane 23 NW 3)
- Utah -6.5 UCLA – The Pick: Utah WON (Utah 43 UCLA 10)
It was disappointing Nebraska did not cover the 6.5 points vs Cincinnati. It looked like they were going to take control of the game but at least they won a one score game thanks to a poor decision by QB Brendan Sorsby on Cincinnati’s last drive resulting in an interception.
I took Texas mainly because I thought Arch Manning would hit the ground running faster than Ohio State QB Julian Sayin given he is in his third year under coach Steve Sarkisian and has had a couple starts whereas Sayin is only in his second year. But the exact opposite happened. Sayin looked like the more seasoned player and outplayed Manning. Some of that though was due to the great gameplan of new OSU Defensive Coordinator Matt Patricia.
Maryland easily covered the 14.5 spread in a dominating 39-7 win over FAU. This was a pretty easy pick because Mike Lockley had the nations longest non-conference winning streak at 15 games and Maryland plays like a Top 25 team up until October.
Tulane pounded Northwestern 23-3 in a game I was the most confident in for my 5 picks. Simply Tulane is really good and Northwestern is really bad.
In the final game Utah easily covered 6.5 points vs UCLA which was an easy prediction for me given Utah’s 5 returning offensive linemen, a talented transfer QB and a defense that played like typical Kyle Whittingham teams. They may be the favorites to win the Big 12. UCLA will be better, this was just a terrible matchup to start the season. As the year progresses, I expect gradual improvement from the offense under new OC Tino Sunseri and QB Nico Iamaleava.

- #11 Illinois -3.5 DUKE (49.5 O/U) – The Pick:
IllinoisDuke - IOWA STATE -2.5 Iowa (41.5 O/U) – The Pick: Iowa
- #18 OKLAHOMA -5.5 vs #15 Michigan (46.5 O/U) – The Pick: Michigan
- MICHIGAN STATE -6 vs. Boston College (45.5 O/U) – The Pick: Boston College

Game 1: #11 Illinois -3.5 DUKE (49.5 O/U)
Background: If not for Indiana’s surprise playoff appearance and Oregon winning the Big Ten in their first year in the league, Illinois would have been the best story in the conference last year going 9-3 overall (6-3 in Big Ten). But they have been the talk of the off-season as a potential playoff team and are ranked 11th after an opening 52-3 win over Western Illinois. That is Illinois highest ranking since the 2001 team (24 years) went 10-2 under Ron Turner.
Illinois has 17 starters returning (9 offense, 7 defense and their kicker) and maybe most importantly experienced and efficient 3rd year starting quarterback Luke Altmyer who 22 TDs and just 6 interceptions last year and helping Illinois play low risk football and having a +6 turnover margin as a big key to going 5-1 in one-score games. Lindy’s had Illinois ranked 17th in the nation and SP+ had them 27th.
For Duke, Manny Diaz moved for DC for Penn State to take over Duke and had a great first year going 9-4 overall and 5-3 in the ACC. Yes, some of that success was from the ACC being down but Diaz has had super success as a defensive coordinator and experience across several coaching stops.
Diaz even kept his coaching staff intact and expectations are high with new QB Darian Mensah coming over from Tulane and 11 offensive and defensive starters returning. In pre-season rankings, Duke was ranked 42nd in the nation by Lindy’s and was 43rd in the ESPN SP+ rankings.
Why Illinois Can Cover:
Went 10-3 and have the most returning production in the Big Ten so should be even better under a coaching staff that is the same as last year and is known for strong development. ESPN’s metrics show Illinois returns a Big Ten leading 75% of production and of course their experienced Quarterback Luke Altmyer. Bret Bielema has always run “development programs” at Wisconsin and Arkansas where they bring in players that fit their system and develop them where they often stay 4 or 5 years. That is the formula he hopes to use to see significant improvement in all these returning players to make a playoff run.
Illinois returns all 5 offensive line starters who should continue to get better raising the offensive ceiling for the Illini and Altmyer takes care of the ball which is what Duke thrives on. This is one of the keys to the game. Altmyer threw just 6 picks last year while Duke led the ACC in sacks, has an experienced secondary and had a +8 turnover margin last year. With Altmyer, Illinois should be able take care of the ball and generate a better run game vs a Duke defense who ranked just 68th last year in run defense.
Duke may not be able to run the ball making them one-dimensional and reliant on the pass and pass defense should be an Illinois strength. In 2024, Duke averaged just 93 yards/carry ranking a dreadful 127th in the nation and yet they did not make any significant RB portal additions, but they do return 4 of 5 offensive line starters.
Illinois was just 65th in rushing defense last season but return star LB and 2nd leading tackler Gabe Jacas who had 13 tackles for loss. This could be big advantage to Illinois because Duke will be throwing against Illinois experienced secondary that has all 4 starters returning including All Big Ten nickel back Xavier Scott. That unit was 78th in pass defense last year but expects to be much better.
Why Take the Points with Duke:
Illinois may be overrated since despite all that returning production last year they were mediocre at best statistically: Illinois ranked 92nd in Total Offense and 68th in Total Defense last year including giving up 5.5 yards/play which was only 13th in the Big Ten. In fact, they gave up 8 more yards/game on defense than their offense produced. Based on stats, ESPN projected they should have won 8 games last year, not 10. They were also 5-1 in one score games. A lot of production returns, but Illinois needs to play a LOT better to justify their ranking.
The Duke defense might be the best unit on the field and can hold down the Illini offense which was only Tied for 64th in scoring last year at 28.3 ppg. Duke returns 8 starters on defense including a pair of first team All-ACC defensive backs in cornerback Chandler Rivers and safety Terry Moore. They led the ACC in sacks with 43 as well as forced fumbles at 19 and recovered fumbles with 14. They also had a +8 turnover margin, tied for 24th in nation. Manny Diaz specialty is good defense and if Duke holds Illinois to under 20 points they likely win the game.
With new QB Darian Mensah leading the offense and 5 other returning starters Duke’s offense should be better than last year’s unit and could get the scoring in the high 20’s that is needed to win the game. Mensah was super impressive as a freshman at Tulane last year with 22 TDs, 6 interceptions, 66% completions and 2,723 yards. He has some good weapons to throw to so the only question is if Duke can run the ball enough to take some of the pressure off the passing game. Duke was only 78th in scoring last year but Mensah significantly raises the ceiling for the offense.
Big Jeffs Call: This should be a great game. Duke is legit good all the way down to an experienced special teams unit so this is begging to be a one score game where the Illini excelled last year, going 5-1 but Duke was even better at 6-1. In my pre-season picks I had Illinois winning this game and there is no reason to change that so I will take Illinois to cover in yet another tight one score win for Illinois. I still have reservations about how good Illinois is so my confidence is not high on this pick, but this is their chance to prove me wrong if they can win by double-digits. My prediction is Illinois 24 Duke 21. Note: The spread early in the Week was Illinois -2.5 so this meant I was choosing Illinois. BUT on Thursday the spread on FanDuel moved to Illinois -3.5 thus now I am taking the points choosing Duke.
Game 2: #16 IOWA STATE -2.5 Iowa (41.5 O/U)
Background:
These two teams are rated really close which should make this another tight, defense-oriented game just like you typically expect in this matchup. Both teams have experienced highly successful coaches (Kirk Ferentz for Iowa and Matt Campbell for ISU). Both have the exact same number of starters returning with 10 plus each of their kicker and punters (12 total). Pre-season, Iowa was rated 33rd by Lindy’s and 25th in ESPN’s SP+. While Iowa State was rated 22nd by Lindy’s and 31st in ESPN’s SP+.
Iowa won in week 1 over University of Albany 34-7 in a disappointing game – other than the win means Kirk Ferentz tied Woody Hayes for the most all-time Big Ten coaching wins. New QB Mark Gronowski did not look smooth, going 8-15 for only 44 yards with 1 TD and Iowa only put up 358 yards of offense. They did have 310 yards rushing but we already knew Iowa can run the ball. To upgrade their ceiling they must get better passing production and that is in question right now.
Iowa State meanwhile after a great 11-3 season (and first time winning 10 games ever) last year has already played two games beating Kansas State in the Week 0 opener in Ireland 24-21, and then impressively unlike Kansas State did not have a hangover from coming back to the states pounding South Dakota 55-7 in Week 1. They definitely look like a contender to win the Big 12 and Rocco Becht at quarterback has been impressive and was 19-20 for 278 yards and 3 TDs vs South Dakota.
Why Iowa State Can Cover (2):
It looks like Iowa State clearly has the better quarterback giving them a big edge. Junior QB Rocco Becht for Iowa State played well last year with 3,505 yards and 25 TD with 9 interceptions while rushing for 318 yards (including sacks). Becht is off to a good start this year in two games with 461 yards on 69% passing with 5 TDs and zero interceptions. Plus, Iowa State has 4 starters returning on the offensive line and though they lost two second day draft WR picks they do have some good WR options along with 2 tight ends who have played well and last week combined for 11 catches for 132 yards.
Iowa’s new QB Mark Gronwoski struggled against an FCS opponent passing for 44 yards. It may take some time to get Gronowski going but Iowa State already has Becht playing at a high level.
Iowa State is at home and in games of similar talent, that can be the difference.
Or is it? Iowa State has lost at home to Iowa six straight times and not since 2011. But I think in many of those games Iowa had the better personnel so that is no shock. But this year with the teams so closely matched it is a big advantage for the Cyclones.
I am not giving a third key reason for Iowa State to cover since these teams are so close and the strong QB edge gives Iowa State a much better chance to come from behind if it comes down to that.
Why take the points with Iowa:
Often, the teams that runs more efficiently and stops the run wins the game and from that perspective this game favors Iowa.
First, Iowa looks like they have another really good run game that seems to match up extremely well vs Iowa State’s weak run defense. It is too early to judge definitively but last year Iowa State had a very poor run defense ranking 109th in the nation at stopping the run (188 ypg), while Iowa was a strong 24th with 197 ypg. But more important in the first game vs. Albany the Hawkeye run game appeared strong again gaining 310 yards on 5.8 ypc. Iowa State did hold Kansas St. to 110 rushing yards but they lost their best RB early in the game and it’s just too early to judge.
Second, Iowa St. has struggled in the run game while rushing defense has not surprisingly been a big strength for Iowa. Last year Iowa State was 70th in the nation in rushing at 161 yards/game, while Iowa was 25th in the nation stopping the run at 115 ypg. Albany had just 43 yards rushing vs Iowa – yes it was Albany but that’s still a promising start. Iowa State this year is gaining 4.6 yards/carry which is solid too early to judge. I expect Iowa State to struggle to move the ball on the ground forcing them to throw.
Iowa has the special teams edge and in games of similar talent, that can be the difference. Kaden Wetjen is the top return man in the Big Ten averaging 28 yards on kick returns and 12.6 on punt returns. Kicker Drew Stevens may be second only to Michigan’s Dominic Zvada, as he made 20 of 23 FGs including nine from beyond 40 yards.
Big Jeff’s Call: Before the season, I took Iowa to win this game and despite their unimpressive first game I am going to stick with that, though I don’t have high confidence. Gronowski needs to play better in a tough road environment so we will learn a lot about Iowa’s ceiling in this game. A threat is Becht far outplays Gronowski. I like the under as well and Iowa to win outright driven by their run game advantage and special teams. Iowa 17 Iowa State 14.
Game 3: #18 OKLAHOMA -6.5 vs #15 Michigan (46.5 O/U)
This is the biggest game in all of college football this weekend and the only Top 25 matchup after last week’s huge games.
Oklahoma has been a huge disappointment in the Brent Venables regime where he is 22-17 overall in 3 years including 6-7 last year and 2-6 in the Sooners first year in the SEC. The heat is on Venables big time and the fact Oklahoma might have the toughest schedule in the nation means this is almost in the “Must Win” game category for the Sooners.
Venables hopes to turn his team’s fortune around this year based on 3 things. One is he has new OC in 29-year old Ben Arbuckle who came from Washington State where he had a high powered offense and also at Western Kentucky in 2022. Second he has a new QB in highly touted John Mateer who played under Arbuckle last year so the expectation is together they will hit the ground running. Third, is Venables has reinstated himself as the Defensive Coordinator where he built his reputation as maybe the best in college football under Dabo Swinney at Clemson.
Sherrone Moore got off to a good start in year 2 at Michigan beating New Mexico in Week One 34-17 behind a very strong running game and an impressive performance from 5 star freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood. Michigan has much less pressure in this game as an underdog but a win would position them as a strong playoff contender given I have them rated with the weakest Big Ten in-conference schedule (teams they play last year had a 27-54 record).
Why Oklahoma Can Cover:
Brent Venables is an elite defensive coordinator who will have a strong game plan to confuse the young true freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood making Michigan one-dimensional. Underwood was impressive in his first start but that has at home vs. New Mexico, this is in a tough road environment at Oklahoma where it’s rare for young first time starting quarterbacks to thrive. And similar to last week for what Ohio State did to young Arch Manning, I expect Venables will have a great scheme to disguise coverages and make Underwood very uncomfortable and potentially force some key mistakes.
John Matteer is multi-dimensional enough with his running and passing ability that Oklahoma will score enough to win the game. Under the same OC last year Mateer was a beast with 3,139 passing yards, 65% completions, 29 TDs and just 7 interceptions, while also running for 826 yards and 15 TDs. That is 44 total TDs and thus all the hype. In game 1 vs Illinois State he was 30-37 for 392 yards (3 TDs, 1 INT).
Meanwhile, Michigan’s defense was still great last year at 10th in nation in total defense but wasn’t elite and did give up a lot of passing yards at 63rd in the nation and lost a lot of talent on that line which makes me feel that won’t return to the elite level this year.
The Kevin Wilson effect as an analyst on Venables staff that will help with game management issues that has been a problem in the past. The highly regarded former Indiana head coach and Northwestern and Ohio State Assistant can serve as a sort of co-coach to relieve Venables of some of the in-game coaching responsibilities freeing him up to be the elite coordinator he is.
Why take the points with Michigan:
Michigan still has a great defense and despite Mateer Oklahoma has many new skill players and an untested line so will struggle to score enough to cover a pretty high spread. Oklahoma struggled on the offensive line last year and that is a bad formula against Michigan who always has a strong defensive line. And unlike an Ohio State they aren’t loaded at the skill positions. In game one Michigan gave up just 50 yards (1.8 ypc) to New Mexico. Michigan will try to make Oklahoma one dimensional and reliant on the pass.
Michigan’s strong running game will help them keep the ball out of Mateer’s hands, take stress off Underwood and keep up with the Sooners in scoring. In game one vs New Mexico former Alabama and 5 star running back Justice Haynes showed he could be the newcomer of the year in the Big Ten with 16 carries for 159 yards (9.9 ypc) and 3 TDs. For the game Michigan ran for 206 and 6.9 ypc.
That is a great sign for Michigan and in this game I think they use Underwoods running ability more to take stress off the need for the young QB to pass and limit turnovers. If the Sooners can’t stop the Michigan run they may lose the game.
Senior Michigan Kicker Dominic Zvada may be the best in the nation and that might be the difference in an expected tight game like this one. Last year Zvada was 21 of 22 in field goals including 7 of 7 from 50 plus yards. Michigan is expected to have a lot of scoring games including this one making Zvada a big weapon.
Big Jeff’s Call: I like Oklahoma to win (barely) but Michigan to cover so I am going with the Wolverines in this one. The slight difference in the game is the Brent Venables defensive play calling effect against atrue freshman quarterback playing on the road and the multi-dimensional aspect of Sooner QB Mateer will get the victory. Oklahoma 20 Michigan 17.
Game 4: MICHIGAN STATE -6 vs. Boston College (45.5 O/U)
Background:
Last year these two played at Boston College and the Eagles beat the Spartans 23-19 in a tight game where the difference really was Michigan State’s 4 turnovers including 3 interceptions by Aidan Chiles, to BC’s one turnover. Thomas Castelianos who just helped Florida State upset Alabama was the Boston College QB in that game.
Michigan State hosted Western Michigan in Week 1 winning 23-6. While the Spartans did not cover the 22.5 spread they comfortably ahead 21-0 at the half and most importantly Aidan Chiles played a clean game going 17-23 for 155 yards and a TD with NO INTERCEPTIONS.
Taking care of the ball this year is key for Michigan State as they were -8 in turnover margin last year with Chiles throwing 11 interceptions (and only 13 TDs). It was also promising MSU ran for 186 yards and 4.5 yards/carry after averaging only 115 ypg last year ranking 110th in the nation.
Boston College meanwhile pounded Fordham 66-10 in Week 1 while leading 21-3 at the half as new quarterback formerly with Alabama Dylan Lonergan was 26-34 for 268 yards and 4 TDs and the Eagles outgained Fordham 555-168. The only obvious negative was BC ran for only 97 yards and 2.5 yards/carry, which against a team like Fordham is disappointing.
BC was 7-6 overall last year and 4-4 in the ACC in coach Bill O’Brien’s first year with the program. The pre-season ESPN SP+ ranking had BC the 62nd best team in the nation, while Michigan State was 65th. Lindy’s had BC 52nd and MSU 59th.
Fun Note: Boston College’s DC is Tim Lewis former DC for the Giants and Steelers and he helped coach my son Preston’s middle school football teams defense and Preston played LAX with his son who is a freshman on the team.
Why Michigan State can cover:
Michigan State’s run defense is really good and BC could not run the ball in Game 1 so Sparty will shut down the run and make BC overly reliant on the pass. Last year MSU’s biggest strength was run defense ranking 32nd in the nation and giving up just 29 yards and 1.2 ypc Week 1 vs Western Michigan.
Boston College lost 2 senior running backs and 3 offensive line starters (two who were drafted) and did little in game with just 97 yards rushing vs Fordham. I don’t expect BC to be able to run on Michigan State and needing to throw well vs the experienced Spartans secondary with 3 seniors.
Game 1 provided signs that maybe Michigan State can have some good balance this year on offense taking pressure off Chiles to feel like he has to take chances to make big plays. Last year turnovers killed Michigan State, especially early in the year as they were -8 in turnover margin (T-114th in nation). Their offensive line also struggled and was their worst unit.
In game I they had 186 yards rushing. It’s only one game but if they can run better than 110th in the nation (115 ypg) like last year, their scoring will greatly increase from last year’s 19.3 ppg (T-123rd in nation).
Why take the points with Boston College:
Boston College has some real weapons at receiver and looks like they have a QB that can get them the ball and have a strong passing game. Top target Senior Lewis Bond had 11 catches for 138 yards and BC has other strong options and new QB Dylan Lonergan may not have lots of game experience, he still was a highly touted QB who is in his third season in college football after 2 years with Alabama. Last year BC was only 99th in passing and that will improve this season and challenge MSU.
Signs are BC can still be really good on defense and hold down the Spartans who still only scored 23 points on Western Michigan. I know the Eagles DC in Tim Lewis who is a very experienced defensive mind. Last year the Boston College defense was the strength of the team and a solid 55th in the nation in his first year as DC. He lost the ACC defensive player of the year (2nd round pick of the Cowboys-Donavan Ezeiruaku) but returns 5 starters and in game one held Fordham to 10 points and 168 yards.
Big Jeff’s Call: After one game of playing two weak opponents, it’s hard to know how good these two teams are and so I would not bet this line. We will find out a LOT about both this week though since on paper this is about an even matchup. Michigan State is at home though and it’s a night game which should a rowdier crowd than a noon start.
I will take Michigan State to win but 6 points is too much so I will take BC and the points but think this is one of the few games that will go over. Michigan State 27 Boston College 24.
Game 5: UCLA (Away) -2.5 vs. UNLV (-54.5 O/U)
Background:
Ooof. That was an ugly opening game for UCLA as they lost at home to Utah 43-10, and that score is indicative of how Utah dominated leading 23-7 at the half and outgaining the Bruins 492-220. On paper, it was a very bad matchup for UCLA as they lost all their starters from a good defense last year ranking 39th in the nation vs a Utah offense with 5 returning, veteran offensive lineman and a talented transfer QB in Devon Dampier who was 21-25 for 206 yards and 87 yards rushing.
Utah might be the best team in the Big 12 so we don’t want to over-react and UCLA did start slow last year going 1-5 out of the gates but there were few bright spots for the Bruins. I think this is an early MUST WIN for the Bruins bowl chances. They can’t afford to start 0-2 with a Big Ten schedule that is about in the middle in difficulty but also has only 4 of 9 home conference games.
UNLV is 2-0 meanwhile under first year coach Dan Mullen after coach Barry Odom left to take the Purdue job. In week 0 they beat FCS team Idaho State 38-31 who went 5-7 last year and in Week 2 Sam Houston (with an SP+ national rank of 109).
Why UCLA can cover:
UNLV struggled and really should have lost game one vs a FCS team in Idaho State who finished 5-7 last year. UNLV was outgained (555-532) by an FCS team in Game 1 that included giving up 6.4 yards/rush and 160 yards rushing and still won by just 7 despite winning the turnover battle 4-1 and even trailed by 7 in the 4th quarter. Then week 2 Idaho State lost to FCS member Southern Utah 46-24 (who went 7-5 LY).
UNLV did play better in Game 2 vs Sam Houston leading 31-7 after three quarters, though statistically the game was closer with UNLV winning the total yardage (404 to 332). But Sam Houston from Conference USA is not a Power 4 team so I would have expected better.
Game ones can be rough with a new Offensive Coordinator (Tino Sunseri) and QB (Nico Iamaleava) but I expect solid improvement in Game 2 against a team who gave up 555 and 332 yards to weak opponents. I have said UCLAs fortunes this year likely depend on how quickly the new QB and OC get things going on offense for UCLA that was really bad last year at 126th in scoring and 118th in total offense.
UNLV’s defense looks weak, I think Sunseri will be a good OC, and this will be the first game we will say UCLA won the game based on the talent of new QB Iamaleava.
Based on last year under DeShaun Foster, I don’t see UCLA’s bad loss in Week 1 negatively impact them in attitude or effort in Game 2.
Why take the points with UNLV:
Having two winning games under their belt, playing at home and under an experienced coach like Mullen should have UNLV playing with confidence vs UCLA.
UNLV could put up enough points vs a young UCLA defense that the Bruins offense can’t keep up with. It’s a short sample size but UNLV is averaging 468 yards/game split mostly evenly between passing (241 ypg) and rushing (227 ypg) and 38.0 points/game that shows their offense is capable of outscoring a UCLA offense who only had 10 points vs a stingy Utah defense.
UNLV has mostly gone with former Virginia starter Anthony Colandrea at QB (over Michigan transfer Alex Orji) and he has played well early completing 77% of his passes for 444 yards and 3 TDs with 1 interception. Plus, he can run with 116 yards in 2 games at 6.1 ypc.
Beyond that there are too many unknowns on UNLV to list a third strong reason they can cover.
Big Jeff’s Call: Seasoned first year UNLV head coach Dan Mullen vs. still learning second year UCLA coach DeShaun Foster is actually pretty compelling. Despite UNLV’s 2-0 start, it’s not very impressive given who they have played and how the games went. I said this was a MUST WIN for UCLA and their bowl chances. UCLA is not as bad as they looked against a really good Utah team in Week 1 and I like the Bruins coming through with both the win and the cover. UCLA 31 UNLV 21.
