Born N Bled Red Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 So, MSU currently holds the lead in the division by virtue of having played one more game than us. What say you about this game? My prediction? MSU defense holds for the first quarter but their inept offense sinks them. Illinois takes advantage of great field position all game, MSU can't keep this offense out of the end zone and can't score enough to keep up. Illinois 24 MSU 13. Assuming we take care of business this week, we're in the drivers seat for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment
Chaddyboxer Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think this game may be a close one....... I'll favor MSU by 7. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Illinois did have 319 passing yards last week at Wisconsin.. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'd say it'll be about 14-10 but it could be either way. MSU's defense is good and Illinois will struggle to score. MSU's offense is bad and they will struggle to score. Comes down to if MSU's defense can score and if Illinois' offense can get a couple big plays. I think MSU loses a game or two this year, but probably not here. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Gosh, if you are gonna bet a team based on numbers then take MSU...the Illini just can't win Big 10 games Quote Link to comment

I'd take Illinois and the points - if they score once they'll probably cover. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Man, whats the over/under in that one? I hope MSU wins it though, we need a good one loss team to come to Lincoln. Quote Link to comment

iowahuskers Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 17-14 Illinois. Their defense will score another TD but their offense won't get much done. Not sure how MSU is being favored in the legends. I know their defense is great but they haven't made really any progress like we have. Their offense hasn't really gotten much better while our defense has made great progress. Quote Link to comment

I am not sold on them and never have been. But I do like them to smoke the Illini...24-6 Quote Link to comment
