N.ILL
I believe the linemakers are giving N. IL way too much love...Yes they beat Nebraska but the Huskers awful transfer QB from Tulane Tanner Lee gave them 2 pick 6's that accounted for 14 of their 21 points.........N. IL only gained 236 total YDS.......NEB offense is just a mess right now.
SDST is the best non power 5 CONF team in the nation IMO.......They legit beat down a good Stanford team...They held Stanford to254 total yds.......Sdst QB was an efficent 21-29........They also rushed for 172 YDS VS a big athletic Stanford front 7.......Just imagaine what they will do vs. N.IL.....
N.ILL Has played 3 awful offenses....Now they ate traveling cross country with their backup QB to play a very tough physical team on both sides of the ball........SDST is better at every position on the field and will be 5-0 in after a realitively easy win vs a very mediocre MAC team who has yet to play a team with any offense to speak of.
If you look into the box scores of the NEB game you will see that N.ILL played bad against a bad NEB team....But the linemakers by setting this line at 10 are giving them legit respect that they have not earned......
This will be a semi blowout
SDST 35
N IL. 10
