The Illinois Fighting Illini have dropped for in a row and covered the number in only one of those games. Last time out they took a 72-57 beating at Rutgers and I fully expect Penn state to rout Illinois in this one. The Nittany Lions are aiming for a ninth consecutive victory, and they've covered the spread in each of the previous eight triumphs. They're 9-4 against the number in front of the home town crowd and 5-1 ATS on Tuesday nights on the season. Additionally, we can note that Illinois' leading scorer Ayo Dosunmu missed the last game with a knee ailment and he is questionable for this contest.

10* play on Penn State.
