Wildcats are 4-11 ATS overall and haven't covered since Dec. 22. But they're facing their in-state rivals at home coming off a blowout loss. I think it's logical to expect Northwestern to finally show up here and at least make this a game.

I like itComment -
I gave up trying to predict when Northwestern would cover a medium type spread like this, no passion on that team and Illini coming off a loss, just wouldnt feel confident with the Cats.Comment -
One thing the mildcats have going for them is an undisciplined illini squad that could fold like lawn furniture once again. That being said: I bought NW up to +10 and parlayed em with the ORE ML.Comment -
on illini big...should be 10pt+ winComment -
GL on this oneComment -
NW getting absolutely dominated in B1G play. Why would you think they show up now, on the road?? I'm big on Illini for a double digit win. Prime time game at home... Illini crush.
Im sure NW will lead at halftime and make me pull hair out before ILL pulls out a 8 pt win at the end Something like that!Comment -
My bad. Game is in NW. Makes sense why this isn't a 12 pt spread now. I'm not changing my thought on ILL bigComment -
I agree Illinois wins by more than 6.Comment -
i wouldn't say nw showed up...illini has just missed about 10 layups... they still come back to win and cover....on illini -5 2h for doubleComment -
Solid win for the Mildcats.

this game shocked me. i didn't touch it but i would have never, never ever guessed illinois didn't run away with this one. one of those times where the fishy line scaring me away really paid off.Comment -
I'm surprised that Illinois didn't win. Even the books weren't anticipating this. From the line/ML movement, it looked like they were seeing an Illinois victory/Northwestern cover. Pitiful effort by the Illini.Originally posted by texhooperComment -
I just exiled Illini from any more betting this season after that debacle. They must have missed 18 layups and another 7 follow up dunk attempts. 28% from the field and 43 total points vs the worst team in the B1G. Wow.Comment -
Good Bet.....I popped NW at +5.5 2nd half, with them up 7 at recess. It was just one of those nights where Illinois could not figure out NW's zone. Illinois had a couple little stretches where they scored a few buckets, and that was basically it. Thank you Tre Demps!Comment
