Taking ILLINI. Defense has been awesome for the Illini coming on strong sine that 23-20 loss at Indiana. 3-0-10-6-14 points allowed. Both teams off their bye weeks. I don't care that Nebraska still loses 'close' games. Illini are your Big 10 West Leaders. And against a team like Nebraska, who finds ways to lose and shoot themselves in the foot - well yes, I will lay the points at home. 4* Money Maker ILLINOIS
