Who does the public like in this game?
With Iowa losing last night at home, Indiana is now in control of the Big Ten by one game on the field. The Hoosiers, however, have struggled on the road. They have lost three of their last four away from home and are just 2-6 against the spread on the road this season. Illinois hasn’t been much better at home, losing four of their last five at home while going 4-6-2 against the spread this season on their own floor. However, the Illini have covered in three straight and they are 7-3 against the spread this season with a line of 6.5 points or greater. It may be an out there stat, but giving 7 points on the road seems like too much for an Indiana team that hasn’t been consistent away from home.
