This is a 10* play on NEBRASKA

Nebraska is in a free fall right now as they've lost four in a row, the last three all coming as favorites. The last two losses both occurred in Lincoln and now the Cornhuskers must hit the road to face an Illinois team that is also struggling, but better than its record. Laying points on the road might not seem like the best option right now with Nebraska, especially seeing as they are now without second leading scorer Isaac Copeland, Jr. But they are the better team in this matchup and should win pretty easily. While the Cornhuskers are clearly underperforming as of late, Illinois hasn't been favored a single time in Big 10 play. Nebraska already beat the Illini earlier in the year, 75-60, as a 13-point home favorite. Looking at the line for today's rematch, there's definitely some value on the road favorite. With Copeland out, look for leading scorer James Palmer Jr to pick up the slack as he's coming off a bad game anyway and should rebound in a positive way here. Defensively, Nebraska only gives up 62.5 PPG. Play on NEBRASKA
