Anything can happen in college football but ESPN has us at 71.9 percent chance of winning against NW.

They had Rutgers at 100% yesterday!
That will be a cold one, but my Fanny will be in the seat. Bucket list check. Seeing a football game at Wrigley.

Very interesting. Glad you posted this. I guess it's why I was such a fan of Lou Tepper. We seemed to still be winning a lot of games once he took over for Mackovic.

Pat Bryant btw only needs 86 yards to pass the 1,000 yard threshold.
this i think is simply ur typical toss up game. anything can happen in this game and they've been competitive in their losses.

Right before they didn't. Maximum whiplash!
Recently the team with best record wins (big surprise). Exception was when Matt Robinson started at QB due injuries.
Michigan roasted them, believe Illinois wins 17.

IMO Illinois will cover. Pat Bryant needs 72 yards for a 1,000 yard season, which would put him in the top 10 all-time for Illinois. If he gets another TD grab, that puts him tied for 3rd all-time with Brandon Lloyd and AJ Jenkins and ties him for most receiving TDs in a single season with David Williams and Brandon Lloyd.
If this team wants ANY shot at the CFP, they need to come out and put a beating on this team. Make it happen!

I would imagine they treat it as a true neutral site? You could argue shade it a point our way given the likely composition of the crowd, but the travel is much easier for them and all that.

And 2 receiving TDs to set the single-season record, I believe.

I mean, Iowa and Michigan demolished them.

Now I'm wondering what the logistics are for the two teams.
We'll stay the night in a Chicago hotel I assume?
And then Northwestern early on a Saturday morning can probably just bus from their practice facility clean down Clark in like 20 minutes.
same with WISC and Washington - two teams they scored a combined total of 8 points against.I mean, Iowa and Michigan demolished them.
This should not be close.
Here comes the NW is going to win crowd.

Just reporting the odds!
Confuzzled
I’m so confused as well but you know the odds have been off for most of the games this year.
Like the MSU game.
More than that. Makes me think that they can’t read or gauge the team that well.

A reminder that the odds are not set based on what the oddsmakers think the outcome will be. They’re set on what the oddsmakers think the gamblers think the outcome will be.
