T.M. Selection: Illinois @ Nebraska - OVER

I am on the OVER in the Illinois Illini @ Nebraska Cornhuskers game on Friday, September 20th. This total was expected to be low as these teams have this history and this includes in their most recent meetings as well. However, I feel the offenses have more confidence than usual heading into this one and I have also noticed some sharp books are keeping this one a little bit on the higher side of the total in terms of the posted number. The Huskers have scored 34 ppg this season! The Illini have scored 33 ppg this season! Even though these two teams are known more for defense this honestly could be the toughest offensive unit either side has faced thus far. I look for this to result in more points than most are expecting here. My numbers have this one getting to the low 50s rather than low 40s and I am going with a Best Bet here.

T.M. Prediction: 30-23 Nebraska.

Line: O/U 42.5
