BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP WINNER!!!!! $$$$$

**** MICHIGAN ST -3(-130)   vs    IOWA

I know it's kind of early in the week to be making a pick on Saturday night's match for the Big 10 Championship, but I've got my mind made up.  I really like what I've seen from these Spartans, especially the coaching by Mark Dantonio.  This team has recently gotten real hot ever since they lost to Nebraska by one point in a thriller.  To say the least, this team is a very resilient bunch.  If you don't believe me, then go watch the game at Michigan this year, and how they won that at the end.  With a play like that a lot of people will start saying that they are a team of destiny.  Well, I believe you kind of create your own destiny.  They had to go out there and make something happen, when it seemed as if the game was definitely over and they had no shot.  I know this may have been last year, but this Michigan St team, with Conner Cook, came back from a rather large deficit to beat Baylor last year in their bowl game.  Cook is a savvy veteran QB, and had a great game last week vs Penn St.  What impressed me the most, which will come as no surprise, was the way they went into Ohio St and beat the Buckeyes with their back up QB's.  They also held Ohio St to very minimal yardage, including holding RB, Elliot to like 33 yards I think.  Zeke is probably going to have close to 2,000 for the season, and is a Heisman Trophy candidate.  I just thought it was a great defensive performance, and it showed that this team has something special as a TEAM.  They have the kind of fire that the Buckeyes had this time last year. I really think they're probably going to win it all.  Alabama would be my next pick, and they aren't a dynasty anymore, so they can be beat.  I bought this spread down to -3, because I like to be precautious, but I like Michigan St by at least 10.  It's a just in case insurance policy.
