Western Michigan @ Iowa 

Matt McGowan, Pregame Editor (7-5): Iowa – This is a big game for Brian Ferentz contract observers. 

Kenna Roering, Sports Editor (4-8): Iowa –  This is a good chance to get the run game rolling before Big Ten play.

Colin Votzmeyer, Assistant Sports Editor (6-6): Iowa – Western Michigan should be an FCS school.

Cooper Worth, Football Reporter (7-5): Iowa – The Broncos have seen success behind a strong run game over the past two games, but I don’t see that having much of an impact at Kinnick.  

Michael Merrick, DITV Sports Director (7-5): Iowa – Will Iowa ever score 25 points?

John Bohenkamp, Sports Writing Coach (6-6): Iowa – I think the Hawkeyes get more than 30 points.

Jason Brummond, Publisher (6-6): Iowa –  Iowa offense lets (relatively) loose before its showdown with Penn State.

Tennessee @ Florida 

McGowan: Tennessee – Volunteers won’t back down to lend a hand, or should I say, tail.  

Roering: Tennessee – Roll Vols. 

Votzmeyer: Tennessee – Tim Tebow pissed me off in that Netflix documentary.

Worth: Tennessee – I think the Volunteers will win big in Gainesville.

Merrick: Tennessee – The Swamp won’t stop Joe Milton III.

Bohenkamp: Tennessee – Vols win on the road. 

Brummond: Tennessee – These Gators aren’t exactly the Swamp Kings.

Pittsburgh @ West Virginia 

McGowan: West Virginia – Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, older than the trees. 

Roering: West Virginia – Flip a coin for this one.

Votzmeyer: West Virginia – Watch “Only One (Tavon Austin Senior Highlights)” on YouTube.

Worth: West Virginia – I see the Mountaineers edging it out in a battle between two high-scoring offenses. 

Merrick: West Virginia – All West Virginia needs is one hype speech from Pat McAfee and it’ll win. 

Bohenkamp: West Virginia – Kind of a cool rivalry.

Brummond: West Virginia – It’s normally advisable to avoid Backyard Brawls.

Syracuse @ Purdue 

McGowan: Syracuse – Purdue Pete definitely has a few restraining orders against him. 

Roering: Purdue – Boiler up? 

Votzmeyer: Syracuse – Better served on a basketball court.

Worth: Syracuse – I like the QB and the weapons for the Orange. Also, colors as mascots are strange to me. 

Merrick: Syracuse – The battle of the basketball schools goes to the Orange. 

Bohenkamp: Syracuse – I can’t figure out the Boilermakers yet.

Brummond: Syracuse – This doesn’t quite feel like an NBC prime-time game.

BYU @ Arkansas 

McGowan: Arkansas – Woooooooooooo Pig Sooie. Man, that felt good. 

Roering: Arkansas – Bet the over. 

Votzmeyer: Arkansas – BYU fans will have no trouble abstaining when there’s nothing to celebrate.

Worth: Arkansas – Just like last season, the Razorbacks will dominate this matchup. 

Merrick: Arkansas – It’ll be “OurKansas” when I watch them this weekend. 

Bohenkamp: Arkansas – This will be a fun game, but it’s the Hogs at home. 

Brummond: Arkansas – The Hogs’ defense is too tough.

Fresno State @ Arizona State 

McGowan: Fresno State – Win or lose, those Sun Devil fans aren’t going to class on Monday. 

Roering: Arizona State – Fresno State barely beat an FCS opponent last week. 

Votzmeyer: Arizona State – I know nothing about this game. 

Worth: Fresno State – The dogs love to air out the pigskin and I see them continuing that in this game

Merrick: Fresno State – Arizona State is still upset about Jayden Daniels leaving. 

Bohenkamp: Arizona State – Pretty even in terms of mediocrity. 

Brummond: Arizona State – Football After Dark: Coming to the Big Ten  in 2024.
