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.

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….

The public is still thinking Old Indiana.

@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.
