Game day pick 'ems

Michigan State at Iowa

Morehouse - “That's Russian. I don't do that stuff.” Iowa QB Ricky Stanzi's stance on vodka. Michigan State 34, Iowa 33

Hlas - I haven't picked Iowa to lose since 2009. I haven't cleaned the interior of my car since 2005. Both policies have had their flaws. Iowa 15, Michigan State 13

Pugliese - This is Iowa's season make-or-break game. I say they make it, but barely. Iowa 28, Michigan State 27

Campbell - I am told we were all 1-2 last week. Another week like that and none of us will be Bowl eligible. If Iowa wins, they are bowl bound. Iowa 35, Michigan State 21

Malicki - My kids make a repeat appearance.Their random thoughts from this week. Brooks, age 9: Do I have a girlfriend? No. But if I did, I'd make her a heart out of Legos. Iowa 28, Michigan State 24

Brooks - Hard to believe that Iowa at No. 18 against Michigan State at No. 5 is a 6 1/2 point favorite. But the Hawks still have everything in front of them with season goals and bowls games. Iowa 24, Michigan State 21

Kansas at Iowa State

Morehouse - “No.” Radio legend Bob Brooks' stance on sushi. Iowa State 27, Kansas 14

Hlas - Washington is broken and has gone bananas. I know this because I keep hearing it on TV. So can I count on your vote for U.S. senator next Tuesday? Iowa State 56, Kansas 28

Pugliese - Anyone who saw Iowa State bumping off Texas last week probably believes in the Great Pumpkin. Iowa State 24, Kansas 10

Campbell - Hallelujah! A one o'clock kickoff! Take TV out of the picture and common sense can still prevail. Iowa State 24, Kansas 3

Malicki - Brady, age 7: I'm getting much better at drawing humans. Iowa State 38, Kansas 17

Brooks - Chuck Long returns to Iowa as offensive coordinator for Kansas. Too bad he can't play quarterback. Paul Rhoads pulled off another gigantic upset with win at Texas. Now it's time for the Cyclones to become consistent in winning. Iowa State 30, Kansas 24

Michigan at Penn State

Morehouse - I caught Wisconsin Wife celebrating last weekend by eating one of those cheesehead (or headcheese?) hats. I thought those were Styrofoam. I was mistaken. Michigan 34, Penn State 27

Hlas - The incredibly strong midweek winds combined with garbage pickup day to make my street resemble my career. Penn State 49, Michigan 42

Pugliese - The “Joe Pa Must Go” movement takes another step. Michigan 30, Penn State 14

Campbell - The Wolverines are coming back from an off week. JoePa will have to wait for his 399th victory. Michigan 37, Penn State 21

Malicki - Bennett, age 4: When I grow up I want to be a mommy and a daddy. And a building. Michigan 31, Penn State 28

Brooks - I'm tempted to pick Michigan but it just doesn't have enough defense and discipline to win in Happy Valley. Penn State 28, Michigan 27
