I like Illinois here as they are the better team and an underdog. They are coming off 2 outright upsets vs Iowa and NW. These teams are tied in the Big Ten race entering Sunday's game in Lincoln. Illinois comes in playing better, having won three of four, while Nebraska has lost nine of 12 and I'll take the better defensive team on the road led by Senior guard Malcolm Hill and his 17 ppg. Lets back Illinois plus the pts here.
