Purdue vs. Illinois BETTING PREDICTION
Take Illinois. Purdue is a disaster and I don’t see any reason for optimism for the Boilermakers. They can’t move the ball offensively and the defense has struggled. On the other side Illinois is coming off a bye week and has been impressive on the defense side of the ball this year. The offense has been a bit stagnant at times, but against plenty of opportunities they will do enough on Saturday. This is all Illini on Saturday afternoon.
