I hate the BIG 10 but this could actually be a good game.  Well good for a Big 10 game. Penn has looked tuff.

La.schools at Champagne, NOT GOOD !!

COLONEL JIM'S NITTANY LIONS WILL ROAR ONCE MORE.
Penn St - 42                       Illinois - 23
Nittany Lions -14           
Dog is 5-1 ATS in this series. Only problem here is that this dog lacks the Gravytrain to cover this one. Juice will have his moments but in the end the Lions will wear down the Fightin Illini.

Why is everyone on Penn St?  Who exactly have they played?  No one.  Illinois hasnt exactly looked great this year, but their offense is definitely good enough to hang with penn st.  The over looks like the best bet, but i think I will take the illini to cover and straight up win.  Happy Valley isn't the friendliest place in the world to play, but this should be a good game and the winner looks like the favorite to take down the big ten because everyone else is garbage

If I'm taking this game it will be on Illinois... while Penn St. has looked good so far really hasn't played anyone yet, and the only team Illinois has played is Missouri.  So those Penn St. stats are skewed and Illinois did fight back against Missouri.  And like alot of teams, they struggle with look ahead games.... i.e. Illinois playing Loui. Laf. last week..... hoping the line climbs higher... Sharp

hmmm... don't think Illinois was looking ahead 2 weeks when they played ULL... i am more inclined to think Illinois sucked against ULL because... well, they suck...

This spread is too high and it shows that the linesmaker is taking advantage of the public's perception. Illinois first of all is not a double digit underdog material team, especially in conference. I am going to take the points in this one, as the moneyline started at -800 and is now down to -750 and -700 on some books. meanwhile, Illinois moneyline has gone from +550 to +500, which is reverse from what the public is doing. The public is favoring the Lions 73% to 27%. I plan on making some big money on this one.
