Penn State Opens As -18 Favorites Vs Illinois

[LandoComando]

I'd agree if the game was early and at Illinois, but this game is at home and at primetime. That's why I don't think the spread will come down that much. BUT if it did come down to 13, I'm in!

Hope you're right--Ideally we win by 17

this game is at home and at primetime

Not sure I have the stat accurate, but PSU at home in primetime under JF is 12-2. The losses: OSU.

Penn state as a favorite greater than 7 under Franklin has won 27 in a row and is 21-5-1 vrs spread during that streak

Boy, for all of Franklin's faults, that is SUPER impressive. Truly, if this guy could just find a way against OSU and MiCh

Wow. That line is huge.

The way Ill can now throw the ball, and they do throw it well I would be worried about Bielema against that 4-2-5 defense. They can still run the football too. While not a juggernaut I expect Bielema to find a way to keep it tight but hoping for the men in Blue to have a convincing win. This game should be a good barometer of where we are as a team.

No doubt home field advantage with a whiteout type crowd is huge for this game. Hope we come out on fire.

Two tight ends/ wing/ unbalanced, I still have nightmares about that last Illinois home game. They are going to want to play keep away, Bielema will realize that this offense is significantly better than last year.

Bielema saw Kotelnicki last year. KU put up 34 on them.

Bville rarely credits any other team or player. Altmyer has had a good start to the year and is a solid QB. I think we should win the game and are obviously the more talented team, for what that's worth. That doesn't mean Altmyer isn't good.

Didn’t I give him credit in my post?
