Saturday's best bets

(Besides the Huskers, of course)

No. 10 Wisconsin at No. 19 Northwestern: The winner will have the inside track to the West Division crown; Badgers are still thinking College Football Playoff.

No. 9 Indiana at No. 3 Ohio State: OSU is a three-touchdown favorite, and yet this appears to be the Buckeyes' biggest test until Dec. 19.

No. 14 Oklahoma State at No. 18 Oklahoma: Bedlam comes early this year. The Sooners have won five straight in the series, all by double digits.
