The Cornhuskers put up a great fight at Purdue before heading into their bye week. They eventually lost by six points as a 14-point underdog, and I like them to cover the spread again when hosting Illinois Saturday afternoon. The Fighting Illini are also coming off their bye week and upset Minnesota 26-14 before their bye week. They've reeled off five straight wins, and bye might ruin their momentum.

8* PLAY ON NEBRASKA.
