•  Pro: Dawgs haven’t faced a pure passer like Vol’s Tyler Bray who has tossed 12 touchdown passes and only been sacked twice all year. A photo finish wouldn’t shock me here. Georgia 31, Tennessee 27

WICSONSIN AT NEBRASKA

•  Line: Nebraska by 11 ½

•  Joe: Wisconsin is slowly working the kinks out of its offense, but it’s not happening fast enough to keep up with the Cornhuskers. Nebraska 39, Wisconsin 23

•  Pro: Last year’s Badger 48-17 blowout in Madison makes this a circle game for the real Big Red. Badger star RB Montee Ball who sustained multiple concussions since preseason might be seeing 16 Cornhusker defenders after “black shirts” start swarming. Nebraska 35, Wisconsin 13

OHIO STATE AT MICHIGAN STATE

•  Line: Michigan State by 2 ½

•  Joe: The Buckeyes’ spotty offense received an unexpected reality check last week against Alabama-Birmingham. But if we know anything about Urban Meyer, it’s that he knows how to prepare his team for a rival. Ohio State 35, Michigan State 21

•  Pro: Buckeyes have a huge edge at quarterback and gained reinforcements on defense with the return of defensive end Williams and linebacker Klein to pull the upset in East Lansing. Ohio State 20, Michigan State 16
