Default Northwestern -14 @ Illinois

My weekly pick on the Illini comes early; take Northwestern -14 @ Illinois

No real explanation needed. Illinois sucks really bad. Northwestern is building bowl credentials. The Illini D will not stop the Wildcats at all. NW will hang at least 40 on the Illini.

An interesting battle on the other side of the ball. NW's D is pretty porous. The Illini cannot score with a drunk sorarity girl right now. Illinois has scored 14, 7, 13, 10, 24, 2, and 3 points verse their Big10 opponents this year. Best case is 24 points IMO, even against the Wildcats.

I see a 48-20 game. I cannot believe the line is this small. Illinois has lost their last 8 games by 15, 47, 28, 23, 53, 17, 38, and 34. How can they get within 14 of a bowl team?

Repeat: Take Northwestern -14 @ Illinois

FYI-I'm 18-7 NCAA ytd on my recommendations to 2+2
I'm 6-4 ytd on the Illini my alma mater
I will be riding Ohio State -2 1/2 @ Michigan also

Bball starts Friday
