Bye weeks are officially over for Big Ten teams.
During Week 10 action, we will see all 14 Big Ten teams playing in seven games with start times ranging from noon to 7:30 p.m. EDT.
No conference game will match two top 25 teams, but a few are intriguing enough to keep an eye on Saturday.
Four games are in the noon slot Saturday. Iowa and Purdue is a game to keep an eye on for the West. The Boilermakers are a game behind Illinois, and if Purdue wants to have a shot to go to Indianapolis, it need a win against one of the best defenses in the country.
There will be two games at 3:30 p.m. EDT. Penn State will take on Indiana and Michigan State will play Illinois. The Fighting Illini look to keep their winning ways against the Spartans and Penn State fans are hoping to see some of Drew Allar against the Hoosiers as the game is likely to be a blowout.
The lone night game will be Michigan taking on Rutgers at 7:30 p.m.
You can see my predictions for each Big Ten game below.
Ohio State vs. Northwestern
Northwestern Wildcats defensive back JR Pace (5) breaks up a pass intended for Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Garrett Wilson (5) during the third quarter of the Big Ten Championship football game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday, Dec. 19, 2020. Ohio State won 22-10.
The Buckeyes escaped a close one last week in Happy Valley against Penn State, but Ohio State should have a cakewalk this week when it travels to play Northwestern.
The Wildcats are 1-7 and for good reason. Northwestern is averaging 17 points per game and giving up 28. The Buckeyes should be able to do whatever they want and then some on Saturday.
Ohio State 49, Northwestern 10
Minnesota vs. Nebraska

I made the mistake of picking Nebraska last week to upset Illinois. I can admit that was dumb, but I will not make that mistake again.
The Gophers are a better team with both Tanner Morgan and Mo…
