I'm on the over of Illinois vs Nebraska for these reasons:

- Nebraska found a way to won against Wisconsin who have a much better defense than Illinois, scoring 80 points

- 3 of Nebraskas last 4 away games have gone over

- Illinois are averaging 82 points per game in the last 6 home games.

- Both teams shoot 24+ 3pt shots per game. And with the size discrepancy, the Cornhuskers are going to need to shoot and make more than their average this game.

- I expect both teams to hit their averages of 70+, and the winner scoring over 80. That will get us to the over, here.

Official Play: Over 153.5

Side Bet: Nebraska +10
