Big Ten Football week 11 preview and predictions

So far in 2013, my record stands at 62-12 which is a solid 83%.  This however is where things get dicey for a prognosticator.  This is the point in the season where teams kind of change who they are based on their records….and there are so many variables that produce this and it makes it so difficult to get a read on things.  Factors like coaches on hot seats like Illinois coach Tim Beckman…his seat is probably getting warm…but how will his team react?…will they rally because they like him or not?…teams like Minnesota with interim coach Tracy Claeys…his team has played pretty well since he has taken the reins….but how long will it last?…Will Purdue show some improvement?…is the team behind Darrell Hazell or has he lost them?  What’s going on in Ann Arbor?…and what about Nebraska?…how do you figure them out?…and these are just some of items I have to consider when making picks…..so to see how I handle it, read on.
