FOX’s “Big Noon Kickoff” heads to Happy Valley this weekend for a massive Big Ten showdown between Michigan and Penn State.
And you know damn well I’m betting it.

All times ET
Michigan Wolverines (-4, O/U 45) @ Penn State Nittany Lions (Noon, FOX and FOX Sports App)

Don’t think for one second MIchigan won’t try and run it up.
PICK: Over 45 points scored by both teams combined

Oklahoma State Cowboys (-2.5, O/U 65.5) @ UCF Knights (3:30 p.m., ESPN)
It’s time to pop the Cowboy balloon.
The Pokes have surprised many pundits this year, and it’s wild how they’re currently in a first-place tie with Texas atop the Big XII. So why is Oklahoma State only laying 2.5 points at the Bounce House against UCF?
Hmmm.
UCF is still scratching and clawing its way toward a bowl berth and I expect the Knights “A” game in this spot. We’ve seen them hang with Kansas State and Oklahoma and I like…
