I predict the 2019 team wins at least 8 games and resembles the 2007 team that won 9 games after winning only two games the previous year. I believe the offense scores lots of points with the many weapons they have in the skill positions and with the best offensive line in the B1g this year. I also do not believe the defense will resemble the defense from 2018. This defense will not give up 60 points to Iowa or Penn State or Purdue. I think the first game might be shaky but after the first game, its on. I am not as high on the 4 win Nebraska team dominating the West Division. I don't see it. I also don't see many teams on the schedule that cause me great concern. Michigan is the one of the two teams I am concerned about, but that game is at home, perhaps the Illini can upset the maize and blue. Iowa is the other team that concerns me, but only because Illinois always struggles with that team whether the Illini are a better or worse team. Illinois goes from worst to first in the West just like the 2007 team. Just one man's prediction and I am taking it to Vegas. Don't be too hard on me fellas, I know my predictions are out there, but I also predicted the 2007 team would win 7 or 8 games and they won 9 after winning only two games the previous year.
