Indiana +3
I think Illinois may have a slight talent edge but they're played erratic this year. They looked good last Saturday but that was at home and they must venture to Bloomington. Both teams have had 7 conference games; Illinois has played 5 of them at home at Indiana has played 5 of the 7 on the road. Indiana started the season terribly and was down to the spread by 90 pts for the season at one point but has rebounded as the linemaker made a big negative adjustment in the power ratings. Last Sat, Mich State shot lights out (60%) in East Lansing. I don't see the Illini doing that at Assembly Hall.
