First bets of the day are the most important. So lets start this off with this pick.
Illinois won its last two games and three of its last five to become bowl eligible after an emphatic 47-33 rivalry game win over Northwestern on Nov. 29. Two of those three victories came over No. 25 Minnesota, which is playing in the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl, and Pinstripe Bowl-bound Penn State. Junior RB Josh Ferguson is one of only two active FBS players with more than 1,800 career rushing yards (1,828) and 1,000 receiving yards (1,173). Arizona State's D.J. Foster is the other. Senior punter Justin DuVernois is second in the Big Ten and 14th in the nation in punting average (44.4 ypp), just behind Steve Weatherford's single-season UI record of 45.4. As a team, the Illini lead the Big Ten and rank 14th in the nation in net punting average (40.34 ypp). Illinois has shown great fortitude throughout the season, posting five comeback wins on the year. The Illini trailed entering the fourth quarter in four of their six wins and lost the lead against Penn State early in the final period before coming back to win all five games. QB Reilly O'Toole took over for an injured Nathan Scheelhaase late in the first quarter of that 2012 contest and posted a solid effort, completing 19-of-25 passes for 120 yards and rushing 12 times for 31 yards and a TD. So we know where all of this is pointing to. Tells us that Illinois can come back from any game that they are down, they have a good punter for field position battle, ther QB had experience before against Ltech., and they have a very solid RB. Pound the ball with play action passes, and if they get stops pin them down inside the 20. Hopeing defense will be hyped up for their first bowl game since 2011.
