Randy’s Pick

I’m not running to the window to back the Indiana Hoosiers especially on the road, but laying chalk with Illinois isn’t an option either. The Illinois Fighting Illini have yet to win back to back games this season and their offense is nonexistent, ranked 109th in scoring. Playing at home also hasn’t helped much as Illinois has lost 3 of its last 4 games. This feels like it could be an ugly, low scoring Big Ten game. Give me the Hoosiers and the free touchdown.
