    It's too difficult for me to explain how I do it, but my projected score comes out to Michigan 77 Illinois 78. Then From there I go look up trends, injuries and other statistics to see if it coincides with my projected score. In this case it all lined up which is why Illinois is one of my top plays tonight. And then on top of it all, I'm a huge believer in home dogs. If anyone actually pays any attention to my picks every night you would see that I very rarely ever bet on anything but home dogs. Out of my last I don't know maybe 40 plays I've taken I think roughly three favorites and I've lost every one of them. Good luck to you! clover

    sorry I should have specified, I mainly bet on home dogs when it comes to the spread. I also bet a lot of over unders but tend to always bet they over.

    That H to H history is enough to scare a fly off a pile of manure for Michigan fans. Considering Illini +2.5, -120 in what you would think would be a down to the wire game. GL whatever you decide!peace_5

    @mrusso

     yea i saw that earlier, however as i dug deeper, i realized this michigan team is pretty much the best theyve had in at least 10 yrs. this is probably their best chance to beat illini tonight.

    Illinois is a team I loved until a month or so ago. When they are clicking they can run with the best but my gut tells me they may have peaked too early. Revenge should never be overlooked and UM will be extra motivated to get theirs tonight and put an end to this recent domination by Illinois. If UM has a chance to embarrass Illinois in their own gym, they will! The outcome tonight could be similar to UConn a few nights ago!

    Michigan has to be better than what they showed on Saturday night versus Duke. They were manhandled on both ends. Illinois shouldn’t be able to do that to Michigan.

    Never underestimate the power of revenge.

    @usikbasterd   Illinois is a team I loved until a month or so ago. When they are clicking they can run with the best but my gut tells me they may have peaked too early. Revenge should never be overlooked and UM will be extra motivated to get theirs tonight and put an end to this recent domination by Illinois. If UM has a chance to embarrass Illinois in their own gym, they will! The outcome tonight could be similar to UConn a few nights ago!

    Never underestimate the power of revenge.
