Indiana at Illinois

The Indiana Hoosiers have made some strides, but this is a program that is far from their level of expectation. They are not on the level of the rigors of the Big-10 Conference, especially on the road. They own a win on the road vs. Penn State, but the Nittanys are without a conference win at 0-8. The Hoosiers were blown out in their other two conference roadies, suffering five huge blowout losses in conference play a year ago. Illinois is tough at home with a 10-1 mark, and have taken down the number in their last three Big-10 tilts as a double-digit chalk. Last year they won against the Hoosiers by 31 points, and the gap hasn't closed. I'll go with Illinois here.
