Week 14 College Game Day Pick’ems, where to watch and lines

Michigan State (3-7, 0-7) at Iowa (6-4, 4-3)

Where to watch: Saturday, November 22, 2025 2:35 PM - FS1

Line: Iowa (-16.5)

Mike Hlas (2-1, 26-10) — None of us get to live out all of our dreams. For instance, it looks like I’ll never get to cover a bowl game in Detroit. Iowa 31, Michigan State 7

Madison Hricik (2-1, 24-12) — Welcome home, Hawkeyes! It’s been a fun first season at Kinnick. Iowa 31. Michigan State 17

Jeff Johnson (3-0, 22-14) — Text from my father in the fourth quarter of last week’s game against USC: “Here we go again, Jeff. Down the crapper.” Dad hasn’t been pleased with all the close losses ... Iowa 27, Michigan State 13

Rob Gray (3-0, 25-11) — The Spartans bring the Big Ten’s second-worst scoring defense to Kinnick, so the Hawkeyes should be able to put plenty of points on the board after not doing so in recent narrow losses. This one could get ugly. Iowa 34, Michigan State 13

Beth Malicki (3-0, 23-13) — I’m supposed to start posting on Facebook more often for KCRG and I’m just prepping the universe for more content about recipes I burn and ways to coerce your adult kids to visit. Iowa 27, Michigan State 17

K.J. Pilcher (2-1, 22-14) — Watching Michigan State football this season is the adult equivalent to a kid sticking a fork in an electrical outlet. A mistake you only make once. Iowa 27, Michigan State 10

Kansas (5-5, 3-4) at Iowa State (6-4, 3-4)

Where to watch: Saturday, November 22, 2025 11:00 AM - FS1

Line: Iowa State (-3.5)

Hlas — I’m celebrating my golden anniversary this week. It’s the 50th time my editor has told me I’m late getting my Pick ’Ems selections submitted. Iowa State 31, Kansas 24

Hricik — Iowa State has struggled quite a bit this season, and Kansas will make sure it gets to a bowl game this year with some trickery at Jack Trice. Kansas 28, Iowa State 24

Johnson — I haven’t picked an Iowa State game correctly in over a month. I’m due! Iowa State 28, Kansas 17

Gray — The Cyclones could and should ensure they forge a winning season for the eighth time since 2017, but the passing game must get on track to help score the requisite points. It does — and Rocco Becht shines. Iowa State 35, Kansas 30

Malicki — Whatever your Thanksgiving plans are, I hope they include your favorite dish and a nap that stretches so long you can’t tell if it’s a.m. or p.m. when you awaken. Iowa State 31, Kansas 23

Pilcher — Sometimes our yellow lab, Hercules, stares at me and sighs. I can feel his disappointment and he doesn’t even know I’m tied for last in Pick ’Ems. Iowa State 31, Kansas 24

Minnesota (6-4, 4-3) at Northwestern (5-5, 3-4)

Where to watch: Saturday, November 22, 2025 11:00 AM - Fox Sports

Line: Northwestern (-3.5)

Hlas — The ivy on the Wrigley Field walls will be dead for this game. Everything dies, baby, that’s a fact. Maybe everything that dies someday comes back. Northwestern 24, Minnesota 21

Hricik — Football on a baseball field? Sure, why not. Though it might be weird to see that much purple in a stadium known for Cubs blue. Northwestern 21, Minnesota 10

Johnson — Will Pete Crow-Armstrong be making an appearance at Wrigley? Northwestern 21, Minnesota 14

Gray — Fun fact: When The Gophers first met the Wildcats in 1892, they played at a recently-opened venue called Sheppard Field in Evanston. Not so fun fact: Northwestern’s lost three straight games and Minnesota’s dropped two of its last three. Minnesota 24, Northwestern 21

Malicki — It’s the season where I wear so much hand lotion that my car’s steering wheel and cell phone camera are so greasy it’s worrisome. Northwestern 28, Minnesota 20

Pilcher — I’m trying out new blenders to give other Pick ’Ems panelists for the holidays. So far, I’ve had mixed results. Northwestern 23, Minnesota 17
