What’s the reason for posting something like this? Only outcomes:

1. You’re right, and nobody cares because we’re all bummed about getting our butts kicked

2. You’re wrong, and you look like a dunce

3. You’re really pessimistic and you..want people to know that?

I’ve never understood this. Like, I understand feeling like we could lose big, but what drives you to post it? Nothing good comes from that.

I will be shocked if this is more than a 1 score game. IU may win, but I don’t think Vegas is right on this. I don’t bet, but I would take us and 7.5 for sure.

I’m thinking we’ll start out with a mix of short passes and Valentine, until Indinia’s defense loosens up a bit. Then lots of big Feagin. I haven’t given up on the big guy.

I was waiting for my pregame buzz before posting a prediction. 27-17 for the O&B. It's time to get revenge for the screw job the last time we played there...

Bret bats .750 ats on the road at Illinois. I’ll take the sorta shrinking man and the points. We may lose but it’ll be inside the number. And I suspect we’ve got some goodies to roll out tonight.

I think he is right if we turn the ball over 5-6 times… otherwise I call BS! Such a loyal fun huh?

Small loss feels like the least likely outcome to me. My order of most likely outcomes is something like:
-Indiana multi score win
-Illinois single score win
-Illinois multi score win
Big gap
-Indiana single score win

Makes me wonder what NBC will do. It is still technically a ballgame, and they do have the contract to broadcast ND games (which might take priority in this case). It would be a shame to have the high stakes game in Bloomington relegated for the first half on Peacock.

I would suspect the Illinois game will start on Peacock and maybe CNBC? Not sure what channel NBC used for overflow, could be USA or similar

Peacock shows our game broadcast starts in 38 minutes. At least we have that option.

I hate ND so my wife is thankful I won't be swearing like a sailor about missing the game. My swearing will only be as a result of the game.

Go Illini!

Can they move one to CNBC or USA?

OK I will not make people wait. I'm a bit clairvoyant. My read this morning was off. Seeing Pat McAfee in his skivvies threw me this morning.
