This Saturday Illinois heads to Hog country to take on the 5-0 Arkansas Razorbacks.
Many may see this game as a Huge Trap game for the Illini, coming off the biggest win in the school history (in some opinions) traveling to a SEC Conf opponent. Many would say the Illini are walking into a Hog den vunerable to the upset.
To those that think that I say HOGWASH. Good Teams get up for every game and this is a well coached team. There is no way I see Illini resting on their laurels on Saturday.
I dont know much about this Arkansas Team, and Yes every team is better at home but lets look at who AK has played year to date to get to 5-0....
Wins against WINTHROP, TROY, E MICHIGAN, GARDNER-WEBB (Now thats a real knee knocker) and TULSA.
I am finalizing the numbers on this game and the point difference is almost complete. I will post my final thoughts by game time.
One area of concern is the line the book is going to come in with. They Open Illinois as -3 favs line moves to 5.0 and Illinois blow the Forest out.. Trust me the line will be high, just how high is the question...
Any thoughts and insight is as always appreciated...
