Nebraska at Illinois 9/21/19 - College Football Picks & Predictions

A Big Ten conference match is going to take place here and it will pit two 2-1 teams against each other on the day. The Cornhuskers are going to travel to face the Fighting Illini in this game and that will make it a hard game to win. The one road game the Cornhuskers have played on the year so far was an over time loss to Colorado and helped prove the Huskers are not at the level they would like to be sitting right now.

The Cornhuskers are coming into this game averaging 36.7 points a game. The team has managed to get a total of 423.3 yards a game of offense. The defense for the Huskers is giving up 21 points a game, but have allowed 376 yards a game on the year so far.

The Illinois team is coming into the game with a couple of decent wins, but the wins have not really come against what a lot of people would consider to be very stiff competition. The wins came over Akron and UConn. The one loss for the Illini came against Eastern Michigan last week and it was a 3 point loss at home.

The Illinois squad has managed to score 34.7 points a game. The offense has racked up a total of 407.3 yards a game. Defensively the Fighting Illini are not doing that bad as they are giving up 20 points a game, but have allowed only 319 yards a game.
