2024 Big Ten season preview with best bets, dark horses, win total analysis and picks for how Oregon and Ohio State will play out this season.
The Big Ten enters a new era with the entrance of four former PAC-12 teams in Oregon, USC, Washington and UCLA, marking a new era for the storied conference.
The team has a ton of new faces, including Ohio transfer quarterback Kurtis Rourke, who was the MAC Most Valuable Player in 2022 before a season ending knee injury held back his performance in 2023. He will have a talented group of skill position players that includes former Bobcats teammate Miles Cross, Texas Tech transfer Myles Price and JMU’s Elijah Sarratt, who had 11,99 yards through the air last season.
The Hoosiers will have games lined within a touchdown at home against Maryland, Nebraska, Washington and Purdue with road trips to UCLA, Northwestern and Michigan State all featuring opportunities to qualify for a bowl game in the first season under Cignetti. The team has a fairly soft opening schedule that features Weber State, Western Michigan, a neutral site game against Washington State in the Apple Cup, and Northwestern, before the schedule picks up.
While I won’t call for an outright B1G title bet, the over win total of 7.5 is very enticing at -150 .Heading into the season, Iowa is set to be favored in all but one game this season, at Ohio State. If Iowa can be even below average on offense, the defense will be stout enough to lead to plenty of wins on the record.
