Illinois -2.5 vs Wisconsin

[Carpet]

Illinois open a 2.5 chalk on the road as they
visit Madison Wisconsin to play the Badgers.

Wisky is a huge surprise to me as they
spiral downward, I would have never thought
this team would be 0-4 in big ten play.

Wisky is a wounded Dog and are playing
at home vs Illinois, it is only a matter of time
they catch a good game.

Carpet is at floor level looking at these two
teams and I can tell you there are some
drastic DIFFERENCES between these two teams


WISKY run Defense is abysimal and that wont help
in this game vs Illinois

Wisky RB PJ Hill is hurt, this may actually play
into the badgers favor cause most badger fans I know
has PJ Hill as a Number 3 back on this team, CLAY
should be the call for the ball at RB

A LOOK AT ILLINOIS

Jason Ford Freshmen RB from Belleville Illinois
started his first game ran for 179 yards for 3 td's
(Illinois Run Game is back)

ILLINOIS offense is on fire as Juice Williams
is lighting it up, passed for over 1000 yards in 3
games

Arrellious Benn WR has 100 yards in recieving
in 4 straight games, this is something that has
never been accomplished in Illinois football History.

Illinois has rolled up over 500 yards in total offense
5 times in 7 games.

This team is starting to be very dangerous as
the Defense is now starting to show its prowless

Good Luck all

That Wisconsin QB is terrible. How on earth they ever beat Fresno St or stayed competitive in the Michigan and Ohio St games is beyond me. How a team that went 9-4 last year and returns 9 players on both sides of the ball regresses like that is bizarre.

Regarding Wisky vs Iowa,
what happend?
it was a close game when I peaked at the score, something like 14-9 in the 3rd. I had the Under and I was counting my money then I see the final score and I thought that must be a miss print.

[woodee12]

Big plays.

I had the under too.

Shonn Green busted off a couple long runs, and Wiscy through a couple INTS too.

Bad news for under Bettors. Everything pointed to a grind it out game.

Wiscy is not good, and Iowa is not that great either.

Wiscy is a good team when they can control the game but if they fall behind, they are not built to score a bunch and come back.

Last Year Illinois beat Wisky 31-26 as a
2.5 chalk and Wisky was a much better team.

A LOOK AT THESE TWO TEAMS

ILL OFFENSE 37 pts per game year to date.
WI OFFENSE 24.8

Last 3 games for both teams

ILL OFFENSE 40 pts per game
WI O 13

ILL 538 yards per game
WI 349

ILL 347 yards passing per game
WI 187

ILL 190 yards Rushing per game
WI 161

A FEW TACKS ON THE FLOOR

The favorite is 7-3 ATS last 10 meetings head to head

Illinois is 6-1 ATS last 7 conf games

The Illini are 8-2 in the OVER last 10 games

The more I look at this game, the more Carpet
thinks Wisconsin is in for alot of trouble.

I do not repeat DO NOT see Wisky stopping
Illinois Offense in both passing and running.

Illinois Defense looks very evenly matched
up vs this Badger Offense.

MORE THOUGHTS ON THIS GAME

The Badgers have lost all Four Big 10 games
this year vs Michigan, Ohio St, PennSt, and
Iowa. Three of the best teams in the Big 10.

The team has just not been playing with a
winning mentality since the OHIO game.

Wisky's strength is the running game and
with a banged up offensive line, this is all
they have.

The newly assigned QB of Wisky seems very
unsure of himself and has trouble hitting the
receiver even on close plays within 15 yards.

Then we take a look at Floor Level the
other side of the team its DEFENSE

The Secondary of the Badgers is it's sore
heel, and it will be tested often and early.

The Defense of Wisky is not deep at all
depth wise, and when Illinois moves to
a no huddle offense this will leave them
very slow afoot.

I Do expect the badgers to be as physical of
a team you would ever play, one that will
punch you in the mouth every play.

ILLINOIS OFFENSE THOUGHTS

QB Juice Williams is maturing to the point
that playing on the road doesnt bother him.

Juice and his TALENTED offense will keep
rolling up the numbers vs Wisky, with the
badgers secondary as bad as it seems I could
have Juice blindfolded throwing into the end zone
from 20 yards out.

Game Time Report

11 am Kick off

It will be a crisp 48 degrees with the winds out
of the west at 12-17 mph feeling like 42.

No rain, just a great day to play football

PJ Hill of Wisky the RB is scheduled to start
and that may just play right into Illinois hands

I really wish there was a bet I could place
on Hill Leaving the game early as he always does.

Its home comeing game for the Badgers and
you can bet there will be a packed place along with
alot of Illinois fans as tickets are easy to come by.

This is a critical game for both teams, but carpet
thinks Illinois is the Superior team in this match up.

I am placing my ass on the Line in this game
and covering the floor GREEN taking ILLINOIS

Good Luck all

After 2 games in a row I was kicked to the curb

No excuse, just embarrased

Lets go after the Iowa-Illinois coming up.

I will wait for you to start the thread and I will give you any local info I can.

Opened at Illinois -2.5. Iowa is off an open week.

Iowa's D is good, and their running game is outstanding with Shonn Green.

Lets nail this one! Its a toss up i think but Iowa may have the advantage of being rested.
