illinois is crap.. OSU has been rolling with Pryor & Wells & company.. not such a big stretch to think that Ohio State flattens an over rated team in illinois! You mean the illinois offense that could not do a thing against West Mich?? Yeah that offense.... North Westerns' offense is better than illinois IMO. Navy game is one to stay away from..

That's all it is... an opinion! Do you even look at stats?
Total Offense
Illinois = ranked 15th. avg. 6 ypp/40TD/447ypg
NW = ranked 56th. avg 5 ypp/28TD/369ypg
Total Scoring
Illinois = ranked 33rd
NW = ranked 68th
you wanna go into defensive stats? Cuz I can show you Illini's vs NW's if you want?
Dude, seriously, how do you cap games?
as always...aloha.
I have been posting winners on this site since 2001 son.. be careful here.. trust me on that.. Point is illinois is just not that great of a football team right now and going up against a very good Ohio State team that is more than capable of putting a beating on this team. Will it happen, not sure that is why it is called gambling but I am not sure how you are confident in this illinois team, I just dont see it.. As for West Mich yes they are prolific on offense but there is no way that illinois should not have been able to score more on that team! Stats are great they really are good for you but I still like North Western over illinois.. actually dont want anything to do with either of them.. I am not even on the Ohio State game but I disagree that it is far fetched for OSU not to go in and win by 10 or more..
I totally agree w/you that anything is possible w/OSU. They are on a roll, but you will definitely agree w/me when I say gambling is all about situations and scenarios, cuz that's what Vegas loves to do to the public. They love to set up games that are buy low/sell high type of games, cuz they know they can make easy money off the public. That's what I'm banking on will happen 2morrow, especially when it's one of the highest bet games on the board. n e ways, GL to you Prophet and hope you do well.

Fade...you bring up a good point regarding Vegas' view of this game....he is some more "fat to chew" regarding this game...I live in Columbus (not a die-hard OSU fan by any stretch)...I am not from Columbus however. Listening to Tress' press conference and talking to a few "insiders" I would look for Capt. Conservative (Tressel) to really tone things down a lot come tomorrow....what I mean is...I forsee a huge diet of Beanie Wells...a little more Beanie Wells....and to finish...even more Beanie Wells...
I realize revenge is a huge factor in CFB, but did anyone see Tress' expression when Ohio St scored with less then a minute to go last week? He was sick. He does not runt he score up...he doesn't do anything to show anyone up. I look for Ohio St to win the game but keep it close.
Ohio St 27
Illinois 20
GL.
I don't really take revenge angles into consideration too much w/college football. I do however agree w/you that Tressel does not run up the score on n e one. I think the only way OSU roll here is Juice & Co. has a God awful day turning the ball over. Other than that, I think their offense can do a little damage.
as always...aloha.
That was ages ago.....you had a highly ranked Wisy team playing at home....at night...against a QB making his first start on the road....
In that case......Penn St beat Wisky by 40 in the same atmosphere....how did Ohio St hang with Penn St then? You know what I mean?
6 in one hand....hlaf dozen in the other...
I see Juice throwing at least 2-3 INT's tomorrow...just my opinion ....
Thanks for your feedback Fade....good luck tomorrow buddy!
