The Hoosiers might be coming into this season hoping to rebound from a horrible 2021 season wherein they received simply 2 video games. Indiana received’t have QB Michael Penix Jr. main the best way, however reasonably QB Jack Tuttle.
Tuttle performed in 6 video games and had 2 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. Indiana’s main rusher and prime receivers received’t be again, so it’ll be a brand new roster trying to usher in a brand new technology of Hoosiers expertise.

Illinois at Indiana picks and predictions
Prediction
Illinois 24, Indiana 21
Cash line
BET ILLINOIS (+105).
Illinois has a sport beneath its belt and is returning many gifted gamers whereas Indiana is a little more of a wild card and is coming off a horrific season. Whereas Tuttle could also be an improve, he proved little in his time a season in the past.
Indiana misplaced each Huge Ten sport final season and solely received in opposition to Idaho and Western Kentucky. At house, it received 1 sport and misplaced to 2 unranked Huge Ten opponents by greater than 20 factors every.
Tom Allen retained his job because the Indiana coach, and I don’t see him doing a a lot better job this time round. That mentioned, Illinois has a trusted quarterback main the best way and a confirmed rusher.
Couple all of it, and I’ll take the plus-money worth for the street aspect.
In opposition to the unfold
PASS.
I’ll take the plus-money odds as a substitute of a 1.5-point unfold.
Over/Below
LEAN UNDER 45.5 (-108).
The Indiana offense scored greater than 15 in simply 1 Huge Ten sport final season. Whereas it could have a brand new quarterback, Allen continues to be main the best way and he isn’t a confirmed winner with the Hoosiers.
Illinois, alternatively, did put 38 in its opener, however the Combating Illini ran for extra yards than they handed. The Indiana entrance line ought to have a greater likelihood to indicate down that run.
With the Hoosiers doubtlessly in a position to match the power of the Combating Illini entrance, scoring could possibly be restricted if each offenses are sloppy all through this convention battle.
