Updated Point Spreads for Big Ten Games in Week 12

We're heading down the home stretch in the Big Ten football race, and there are several high-profile games this weekend. There's been some subtle movements in the point spreads this week, but the over/unders have jumped a lot. Here's the latest.

There are only two weeks left in the Big Ten football regular season, and there are some huge showdowns that will likely determine division winners on Saturday, most notably the matchup between No. 4 Ohio State and No. 7 Michigan State.

Ohio State is still a 19-point favorite in that game, but the over/under number has jumped quite a bit. That's the trend in the betting lines throughout the league this week. The point spreads haven't moved much, but the over/under lines are jumping all over the place.
