#367 ASA PLAY ON 8* Illinois +13 over Iowa, Saturday at 2:00 PM ET - We like this spot for the Illini. They are coming off a bye and have been very competitive on the road beating Penn State & Minnesota, while losing by 4 @ Purdue. Iowa is coming off a big home win last week vs Minnesota but they were outplayed in that game getting outgained by 132 yards. The Hawkeyes switched QB’s with Padilla making his first career start but it wasn’t overly impressive as he led the to just 277 total yards and the Hawkeyes averaged only 2.8 YPC. We see them struggling again this week vs an underrated Illinois defense. The Illini have not allowed more than 24 points in their last 7 games and they are allowing just 16 PPG in Big 10 Play (in regulation). Tough to lay nearly 2 TD’s when your offense is ranked 122nd nationally which Iowa’s is. Illinois HC Bielema won’t be on the sidelines here (Covid) but we expect the Illini to keep this one tight in a low scoring game as they have for most of the Big 10 season. They shouldn’t need to do all that much offensively to stay within this number. Take the points.
