Big line here but the Wildcats have an explosive offense and Zook's boys have been blown out nearly every game this season. They have lost by 15 or more points in 9 of their 10 games! Against common opponents this season, NU is 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS while Illinois is 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS! NU is 6-1 ATS in this matchup in games played in Illinois over the last fifteen seasons. NU is clearly the superior football team and one has to wonder about the mental health of a Zook-led ballclub that has been absolutely dismantled in the Big Ten. Illinois is 1-13 ATS. Two stars on the Wildcats here.
