Thanks Coach, Cuse, FTR, EMV, Q & Stif- Bol to you all this season :thumbs:
Stif- My thoughts exactly. I think there is value in Illinois this week, but am having trouble making it official...
On one hand you have a young team with a legit shot at a home. Wisky, Mich, Minny, OSU, PSU, maybe they aren't ready for that quite yet. Mizzou? maybe. Illinois lost @ Wisky by 6, lost to OSU by a td, & beat MSU last year. The other side to the coin is you have to back Juice... he scares me everytime he has the ball in his hands. He had a 39.5% completion percentage last year & looked plain bad at times. I'm not sure I'm ready for that emotional rollercoaster so early in the season LoL. Maybe the points would be the better option here in case they fell short, but I certainly wouldn't be looking to play Missouri as road chalk.
Coach Ditka- what are your thoughts on Juice? How about Mendenhall? (I think he's gonna have to have a great year for the Illini to go .500.
Q- thanks for your imput! Always great to hear the opinions of someone who knows their team. I just think that even a tight game throughout could turn into a 10 pt win vs that shaky pass D....I would lean under too. Hopefully that O-line holds up for Harrell
EMV- 45 pts would have been a better line. Could be 35-0 at the half
Went ahead & added WMich/WV over. Was waiting for it to come out yesterday, but missed the 54.5 open. Hopefully it doesn't matter. Considering WMich+pts, but IMO if they do keep it within the number, it goes over....
