Illinois OVER The Ohio State University

[ouman101]

Sorry to break it to you bud, but 2 years ago Illinois was alot, ALOT, better than they are now, and Ohio State is a lot better than they were two years ago. Illinois took out Pryor as a freshman. He's 10X better than he was then. I know I'm an Ohio State fan so my opinion is shaded, but this is the best team I have seen in a long time.

Illinois might be the worst team in the big ten this year. OSU 14-3 ATS last 17. Plus, Pryor for Heisman.

[Don Giovanni]

Miami was a shithole team?

Bump

Illinois historically has played Ohio St close at home:

08 - 30-20 L
07 - 28-21 W
06 - 17-10 L

That being said, this is Terrell Pryor's senior year and the program is pushing him for the Heisman. I don't have the coconuts to call the upset, but I'd say Zook gets his team up for this game and ultimately the cover. -Giovanni

Hard to see how they're worse than Minnesota, who just lost by 11 at home to NIU after NIU lost to Illinois. Purdue is nothing to write home about either. But the Big 10 is good and deep. Unranked Indiana and Northwestern both dangerous. I happen to think Illinois is too, just my opinions. Sheelhaase is interesting, and should continue to develop and improve.

This is Pryor's junior year.

Illinois has less than zero offensive talent. Scheelhasse could throw more pick-sixes than completions. This is about the biggest mismatch in the Big Ten season. OSU 41 Illinois 7.

[PickCityz]

I saw the NIU game, that game didn't look pretty.

[Uncle Harv]

Wishful thinking. There is no way this happens unless Pryor goes out with injury. OSU will dominate this game. They will not be stopped by anyone all year long. They can only beat themselves. And thats because they have a secret weapon that no one else has. And that is the untackleable force that is Pryor. They are good and deep in all areas, but when that breaks down, Pryor takes off. And one man NEVER brings him down. He is a human drive sustainer. Buckeyes roll by at least 20. And I dont even like the Buckeyes.

wont happen

[morganwags]

not gonna happen

Frozen... What a typical, pompous homer you are. You knock the Bucks scedule so far but did you look at yours? N Illinois, you squeeked by, S Illinois, then a pitiful Missouri team kicked your ass.

Back to the schedule. The weak teams OSU played, they slaughtered them. I don't think that Miami team is a shithole team do you? I know they could kick your team's ass and all those so called shithole teams on your sched.

As for the past four years, OSU has played Texas and USC. That ain't too shabby for an ooc opponent is it?

[blue chip]

I like OSU, I think Tressel will run up the score like he has been doing this year going for style points.

If Tressel doesn't like a coach he tends to run up the score. Last week against Eastern Michigan Coach Ron English it was obvious JT was out for blood. A few years ago when English was D coord. at Michigan his players were going after Troy Smiths head the whole game. This year EM took three cheap shots at OSU players. One was at Pryors knee after a pass and two others were hits on the punt returner after a fair catch.

[FrozenMAN]

we did it a few years ago and we will do it again. Your boy steeeeeellllhhhaaaaaaaaaaaasseeeeeeee is gonna run all over the defense!

you know it dude, he's my dawg!

Monster day and we are gonna pull it out!

[FrozenMAN]

and yes we are total shit.......whatever....all ya tards will see saturday when the upset of the year goes down, along with the hopes of a National Championship and the Heisman

Scheelhaase - 54% Completion percentagge, 3 TDs 2 INTs vs Missouri, Southern Illinois, & Northern Illinois. Your hopes are on the shoulders of a Freshman QB playing arguably the best all-around defense in the country....good luck with that

[Herky]

You should put down the crack pipe. It's not good for you.

[kfranz31]

dont lay too much thats a tough call to make

[PoweRay]

tough choice 4 me

[MartinBlank]

Frozen,

You wouldn't be taking points bets on this one would you?

I have a few tucked away in the SBR Sportsbook that I can transfer over and we can bet it.

I will gladly take Ohio State ml----straight up?

Deal?

Gimme me Illinois ML at +800 and I'll book it, all you can afford.

[buckeyefan88]

U GOTTA BE OUTTA UR MIND!

This is truly a different Tressel that I have seen in the last 5 years. However I feel the bucks will roll I told myself I was not gonna touch this game just because I do not know what that scheelhouse or however u spell it is capable of doing..that boys got a lot of talent, but not as much as Pryor. Bucks have been preparing for this game last 2 weeks. Buckeyes will dominate the entire game. They strike early in this one and never look back.

[drunkenbeaver]

not sure why i even opened this thread...

[The Bet Master]

Lol. I'm taking Ohio State -850. I don't know if they'll cover, but thank you people on Illinois for lowering the OSU moneyline a little.

[mandude]

What power house teams has Illinois played? If Ohio State played the same schedule the results would have been very different.

[Gundog]

This is really one ridiculous thread. We are talking about a 5 win team at best. A team that has not even played an away game yet. A team that has two wins, one against a MAC team and the other against an FCS team. A team that has given up 30 points per game for the last two games to Ohio State. This game will be close until the 7 minute mark of the 1st quarter. Then, Illinois gets blown out. This is the definition of a homer thread, and I hate homers. Save it for the pep rally. Leave the posting to those who have something legitimate to say.

Right on, you do you homework, good write up.

what are you even talking about dude?? we played a solid mizzou team who returned alot of big names and a surprising NIU team picked to win the MAC and the #2 D2 team in SIU......OSU played nobody and if they played the same teams the results rather than 2-1 woulda been 3-0???? what are you trying to say???

[FrozenMAN]

and big daddy is a toolbag...homer?? whatever dude, watch cover with ease and will have a shot to win it if we play smart and not a penalty laden game such as was the case versus NIU.....same shit all the tards said in 08 when juice played flawless at da shoe and we took out #1 OSU...leaving that stadium and seeing 100,000 toolbags in red crying was AWESOME!

[gravy]

I know the Buckeyes have had close calls with Illinois in Champaign over the years but Ohio State wins this game but the Backdoor is wide open.

[buckeyefan88]

but the Backdoor is wide open.

thats what she said

[BigMattM]

Leaning Over as well

[talktob]

Not this year. OSU is money in the big ten road opener, this one won't be close. Line should be 4 TDs.

Instead of betting on the fighting Zooks, donate your money to charity

[Dutch]

I was unaware that U of IL. even had a football team...

[Intuitive_Edge]

i think you got to take the points

[eatdust11]

Ohio State is a great road team... The Buckeyes are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 road games.. The Illini can't throw the football... they may score some on special teams.. but Ohio State appears to be wayy too talented..

[DaColts]

Lol at you my friend watch and see OSU crush another shit hole team this week as well lol

[spongerat]

its sexy time!
