really tough game to call. I mean seriously, Juice newton sucks and has declined in performance every year. In fact the only good year he had was when he had the great RB that left early for the pros whose name escapes me (mendenhall i think). ILL has gotten shellacked by the only 2 decent teams they have played and Juice Newton WILL turn the ball over in key situations in just about every game.... BUT....PSU is not a top tier football team and I think is reeling right now. I don't see how anyone can pick a side in this one. Yeah, yeah, fade PSU....but then again ILL can be run all over and is really not a very good football team that can't feel real good about themselves either right now. The loser is 0-2 in the big10 and headed for a disaster season IMO.

If there was ever a game to pass on this week it's this one. For every good angle you can give me on PSU or ILL i can give you one right back for why not to play them. But it might be one of the most intriguing games of the day IMO too.

Illini grad & homer BUT THEY ARE AWFUL

This one wont play close, IMO.

Juice Williams is brutal and great point by FF on the only decent year he had was with Mendenhall who went in the 1st round of the NFL draft. Illinois has no defense, Martez Wilson their best player adn LB is out for the year. They have no one on defense. No one.

Now dont get me wrong, Penn State was over ranked going into the Iowa game but they are head and shoulders better than Illinois. Plus, iowa has a heck of a football team, I think theyve won 8 in a rown dating back to last year.

If i end up playing this game i'd lay the 6 and take Penn State
