Nebraska at Illinois

There was a lot of turmoil over the summer in Champagne, IL, but the Illini appear to have shaken it off, and have themselves off to a 3-1 start to the season. The schedule has not been that difficult, but for a team needing to get its act together, lacking some team, and coaching chemistry, it is all positive news. Nebraska looks to have a team that may be one of their worst in many years, as they are 2-2 and struggled to a 36-28 win vs. Southern Miss in its last game. The good news is the Illini are not ready offensively to do a lot to threaten the Nebraska defense, but Illinois has bowed its back at home on the defensive side of the ball to have played to a 5-1 UNDER mark in their last six here. Nebraska tends to get its defensive legs in order once we get into October, or the meat of the schedule, as they are 23-10 to the UNDER in their last 33 October games. Play on the UNDER.
