This game is usually traditionally a low scoring game between the two in the past. This game features two teams with great defense but limited on their offenses. This will be a rock fight and should stay under the total. Their last two games have stayed under the total of 43.5. Both defenses are going to hold each other's offenses to a few points. Nebraska is 4-13 (O/U) to the Under at home in their last 17 home games. Illinois is 1-7 to the Under after allowing 14 points or less in the last game and they are also 3-8 to the Under in their last 11 games as an underdog.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
