Oh Glorious Day, It's Another Pick Seven!

Hlastradamus was 4-3 vs. the spread last week, which is good enough if you want to eat. OK, you'll only afford cheeseburgers instead of caviar, but who really enjoys fish eggs?

With a season record of 34-27-2 (not bad, not bad), here come seven surefire picks to improve your menu to a nice piece of fish, eggs excluded.

1. IOWA -14 vs. Western Michigan. As uninspiring as the Hawkeyes' offense is, Western Michigan is the worst cover team in America at 1-7-1 against the number.

2. IOWA STATE +27 at Kansas. The Jayhawks are 9-0 vs. the spread. But the Cyclones have covered four weeks in a row, including against Oklahoma and Missouri. Twenty-seven is a big, big number.

3. MICHIGAN STATE +3 vs. Penn State. What is Michigan State playing for? A Motor City Bowl bid. It will try to win, anyway.

4. ILLINOIS -13.5 vs. Northwestern. The Illini will ride the wave, dudes.

5. INDIANA + 2.5 vs. Purdue. One of these two teams is going to want this more than the other. That team is Indiana.

6. NOTRE DAME -6 vs. Duke. It's Duke. Duke. Do you hear Hlastradamus? It's Duke.

7. FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL +4 vs. Louisiana-Lafayette. FIU is 0-9. ULL is 1-9. This is Florida International's chance to end the nation's longest losing streak and become Florida Global.
