I have been looking at this game.
The current Line is Indiana -9.5
Indiana's Offense plays at a very high pace and Illinois Defense will be gassed by the 4th quarter. Indiana is # 2 in the Big 10 in total offense and the Hoosiers also are ranked 10th in the nation with points scored per game at 42 ppg.
The Hoosiers main problem is not the Offense, it is the Defense. As bad as Illinois is on defense the Hoosiers are just plain worse allowing 37.8 per game. Illinois should be able to score on this defense.
Illinois offense will score a lot of points in this game. 2 things that will prevent Illinois from winning this game.
# 1 The Defense-there is no way that Illinois will be able to stop Indy from scoring. By the fourth quarter Illinois defense will be out of gas.
# 2 Penalties-Illinois is ranked in the bottom tier in penalties. This team draws the dumbest flags at the absolute worst time all game long. They will continue to shoot themselves in the foot this week also.
INDIANA 52 ILL 38
