When you're playing and banging with the quality of teams in the Big-10 Conference night in and night out, and you're a middle of the road conference team, as both of these squads are this season, there is certainly a tendency to try and control the tempo to stay competitive. Finally, each of these teams will have a sense that they can win here, and will seek opportunities to run, unlike previous games. Nebraska is a case in point. After scoring 50 or fewer, they have followed with a 4-1 mark to the OVER in their last five contests. Illinois is 4-1 to the OVER when following an ATS win. Both of these teams should step it up tonight, smelling a win. This one goes OVER.
