Well I hate the 'L' word but Illini are a live dog especially now that +17.5 are appearing. Make sure you get it. GL

NONE

Yeah Illinois is playing with confidence right now and they dominated Western Kentucky. Getting anything over two touchdowns would seem like they way to go here.

I will say this about USF. If there is a way to screw a game up, Charlie Strong will find it.

Thanks for the insight guys yeah think I might take a stab at this one

Might be a bad spot for Illinois here so tread lightly after further thought. South Florida plays better at home and they haven't cover a point spread yet. Here's a write up from Ben Burns why he like USF here also.

Illinois plays its first road game and does so on a short week. On the other hand, USF comes in well-rested, last week's game at UConn having been postponed due to Irma. While the Illini may have a 2-0 record, they've also been outgained by an average of 309.5 to 258, in terms of yards per game. That 258 number isn't going to cut it against an explosive USF attack.

The Bulls appear to be the "real deal" and have aspirations of a New Year's Day bowl game. They won 11 games last season and are experienced on both sides of the ball. Playing on ESPN, this is their chance to show the world how good they are. Don't be surprised when this one turn's ugly. Consider laying the points with USF.

17.5 is alot but Quinton Flowers is a very under rated dual threat QB. Tread lightly
