Iowa at Illinois 7:30 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Illini- Yes I know how bad Iowa is on offense but we have be right on and off them three times and now is the time to get on board. Illinois (4-1, 1-1) is riding its best start since 2015 and threatening to earn its first Associated Press Top 25 poll appearance since 2011. Iowa, coming off a 27-14 loss to No. 4 Michigan, boasts the nation's third-best scoring defense (10.0 ppg) and stands eighth overall in total yards allowed. But Illinois trumps that as defensive coordinator Ryan Walters' unit ranks No. 1 in scoring defense (8.4 ppg) and No. 3 in yards allowed. Take IOWA!
