Pros: The Big Ten has the best quarterback in the game right now along with a very stong offensive line. With a front seven that includes pass rushers such as Tamba Hali, LaMarr Woodley and Cameron Wake, they should have no problems rushing the passer either.
Cons: While Tom Brady has shown it doesn't matter who he is throwing the ball to, his receiving corps isn't very strong here. The Safety position could be hit or miss as well due to the injury history of Bob Sanders.
