    Penn State only -6 at Illinois?

    What am I missing here? The Illini are an incredibly underperforming team. I know PSU is coming off a big loss, but is Vegas overcompensating for it, or do they know something we don't?

    illinois is a dysfunctional team, this line should be around 10 or so, so yes, i'd take PSU -6

    I like Penn State quite a bit here. A lot of folks still don't buy they're that good, but Illinois is just terrible.

    penn st. will NEVER get another bet from me as many times as they have screwed the pooch thus far.

    how the hell can you not cover the spread against akron, syracuse and temple?

    Line is not surprising, very common for teams to be demoralized week immediately after having national title hopes slashed.

    I agree, except that I don't remember spreads reflecting that idea as strongly as this one does.

    Illinois is a complete mess. They are absolutely terrible and no way should they come close to beating this spread. That said, the Zooker always finds a way to pull an upset out of his ass. I doubt this is the week but you never know. I'm going to lay a little on PSU but both offenses are horrid and this should be a horrible game to watch.
