Then why is IU a 7 point favorite?
The group of people betting money is different from the group of people who vote in the polls.
@unclemark all these people on TV and SM picking Illinois to win the game.
I'm not feeling good about this game.

Great. We're a lock then.
Home field advantage is worth 3 points. The other 3.5 is last year coattail. But honestly I think we win by 2 tds
Rankings during first 4 weeks is a crap shoot. It takes real games like this to figure out who is better
@tammany The public, for the most part, is very much on the Illini, while the wise guys really like IU in this one, but they’re not always right 100% of the time….
@bayernfan Its media hacks picking Illinois. The money that shifted the line to a full touchdown comes from people who are correct 60%+ of the time thinking IU will cover that spread. Basically, the smart money has us winning by 2+ scores.
Media is in love with Illinois and hate Indiana. The misinformation is just rampant. I heard one guy say that Illinois is physical pound the ball and IU just likes to fling the ball around. Not like we haven’t run the ball for 300+ every game.@bayernfan Its media hacks picking Illinois.
