Illinois at Ohio State

The Buckeyes won't be crashing the BCS party as they are on probation. But at 9-0, and with Urban Meyer on the sidelines, don't expect a letdown in this game. Illinois came out last season all guns firing, jumping out to 6-0. Unfortunately, it has been all downhill from there as they are 2-12 in their last 14 regular season games. Neither win has come within the conference. The Fighting Illini really haven't had much fight at all, as they have been out-scored by their five BCS Conference opponents on the season by a 187-52 margin (27 per game). This opponent comes on the road and better than them all. The Buckeyes have the offense rolling at 45 points per game in their last four. Illinois hasn't been able to stop anyone and has had little success finding the end zone, especially on the road where they have averaged 11 ppg in their last six. Don't forget that Urban Meyer is 64-43 ATS as a favorite and 48-26 ATS following an ATS win. Take Ohio State.
