for thos of you wondering why michigan is favored

[DaColts]

Great stat thanks man. But I still think Ill wins this game

[allday1113]

It's not all that difficult to see why Michigan is favored. They're at home with wins over UConn and Ohio St., while Illinois has lost on the road to Georgia and Northwestern.

And no, things that happened four years ago didn't factor into this spread.

[anthonyc023]

actually it does factor in it proves solid teams struggle in that building. i am not one of those trend handicappers but this is 1 stat that you should take into consideration

[allday1113]

I don't factor in things that happened four years ago. Two completely different teams. Doesn't make any sense to me. I focus on matchups and how teams are playing THIS season.

Four years ago? How about NINE years ago?

How about Illinois beating Wisconsin at Wisconsin (and that's not an easy place to play). Last 5 games strength of schedule is clearly in Illinois favor and they have gone 3-2 vs Michigan going 2-3. It's not that Michigan can't win it, but if I bet it, I would go with Illinois and the +3

Good Luck on whatever you do............

illinois had a hard fought loss in a game they could of stole in west lafayette, personally i'd take illinois cuz theyre invite to the big dance is still not guaranteed

Huge game for Illinois, no doubt. I agree with you here - many seem to have them in for sure, but if they don't get to 12-6 in Big Ten play, I think they get left out. They have an unimpressive non con resume.

[suckerforparlays]

Illinois beat Wisconsin @ Wisconsin are you serious thats a monster win lol I never in my dreams would of expected that to happen lol. And then they stuck with Purdue for the entire game I didnt get to watch the second half because I had to go but Illinois was playing great ball the first half.


Illinois is not in for sure your right allday1113 I actually wrote a blog up on this game sunday night if you wanna read it.

Looks like 1-10 after tonight. The only place Michigan should be in march is on spring break.

[juanitodelfuego]

UW, NW, PS have all covered at UM and won they all won SU
UM covered at home vs. IU (won) MS (lost), OS (won but OSU was hurt) and UI (won).
I have IL winning by 4, 64-60.
