The Nebraska Cornhuskers are gunning for a seventh straight victory (and ninth of 10) when they visit Illinois Fighting Illini Sunday afternoon. Their last defeat was a 5-point loss as an 11.5-point dog at OSU on Jan 22, while Illinois took a fourth consecutive defeat when it fell 78-68 at Indiana on Wednesday. Returning home to State Farm Center might not help much as the Fighting Illini are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games and we can note that the Cornhuskers are 8-0 ATS in their last eight road games.

Nebraska defeated Fighting Illini 64-63 in Lincoln on Jan. 15, and I expect the Cornhuskers to get the job done at Illinois as well.

My selection is an 8* play on Nebraska.
