Welcome to the newest addition to the Buckeye Battle Cry world. In this weekly article, we will be taking a look at how amazingly smart dumb each of us writers are. As with everything on this site, we are here to entertain you guys so please let us know how stupid we are or if you are silly enough to agree with us.
I recommend you take all of our picks every week and buy a ticket to Las Vegas to place bets immediately! Continue to this each week and donate to our happy little family. Do not even worry about the costs associated with these weekly trips, you are going to win ALL OF THE MONIES!!!
Each week, we will take a look at 10 games. It will always be every Big Ten game and then we will fill it in with other nationally ranked games. Once again, please point fingers and chastise us as much as possible.
