4* Money Maker
(NCAAF) Nebraska vs. Illinois,
Point Spread: 6.50 | -110.00 Illinois (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking ILLINOIS here. Nebraska HC Mike Riley has to be hearing footsteps coming to extinguish his hot seat. They canned the AD before last week's win over Rutgers. Now they have a short week away game against the Illini who are off a bye week. Riley has to be looking over his shoulder and know that Scott Frost is coming to replace him. You can't have any faith backing the Cornhuskers here. Their QB already has 9 INTs on the year. Lovie Smith is a defensive guy. And even though he went 3-9 last year, I think he will get this program on its feet. That being said, I have to take an NFL coach, who took a Bears team with Rex Grossman at QB to the Super Bowl ! with the extra prep time. 4* Money Maker ILLINOIS
