Illinois opens up a 2 point chalk at Nebraska
I know I said I am done, would never bet Illinois again all year they have cost me time and time again. In every betting situation you continue to look for that one thing that makes this worth looking at as a bet. That be said (no surprise to many out there) I am back on Illinois to win this game.
The Corn Huskers are all about defense and last time out they played Illinois tooth and nail as they packed it in on defense down low. Since that time Illinois is getting better at beating this defense style of play.
Let me share with you a secret.... We all know that Coach Weber is facing a fire storm from the media and rabid bit fans that want his head. A Coach that has a 67% win rate the whole thing seems a knee jerk reaction.
We all knew that Illinois was losing 70% of it's scoring to graduation, and at the same time welcoming 7 new players to the roster, this was going to be a rebuilding year for sure. At 16-10 this is exactly where I thought this young team would be.
Let me just say this to you, I have the communication from the highest sources that this team is coming into play from the water boy on up at 110%. It is the players who should be apologizing not the coach and they know it.
