The Illinois Fighting Illini have won five of their last six games. The Penn State Nittany Lions come in having dropped three straight games and have lost their leading scorer. Illinois has one of the top offensive teams in the country and Shannon has the ability to score whenever he wants. The Fighting Illini are also the better defensive team. Illinois has won five of their last seven wins by at least eight points. During this losing streak, Penn State has lost by an average of 10.7 points a game. The Nittany Lions are 10-4 SU at home this year and 7-7 ATS. I look for Illinois to keep rolling along and getting the win.
