Let's take a look at some Big 10 football action here, 7.30 p.m. NBC, Illinois takes
00:07
on Penn State in Happy Valley, 4-0 Illini, 1-0 in the Big 10.
00:12
Penn State opens their Big 10 season at 3-0.
00:15
If we're looking at the line itself, it's a heavy favorite for the Nittany Lions, 17.5
00:19
here at the Pandalus Sportsbook, 47.5 as a total.
00:23
They're calling it the unofficial whiteout game in State College this weekend.
00:27
What happens there, Mark?
00:29
I don't like Penn State laying this many points against a defense like Illinois.
00:35
I think this style here lends itself to a lot of running, a lot of mucking up, a lot
00:39
of, you know, just slow trotting along for four quarters.
00:44
We've seen Penn State's offense be able to explode a little bit.
00:46
I was kind of actually a little bit surprised at their offensive outburst last week.
00:50
I thought it was going to be like a little bit more of a letdown spot or just a flat
00:54
spot for them as they went on, you know, to an easy win last week.
00:59
But again, this is a much different task when you're talking about the Illinois team and
01:04
Brett Bielem, his defense.
01:06
I know the night game vibes and everything else are great, but look, Luke Altmeier has
01:10
been really good for the Illini, 10 touchdowns, no picks.
01:13
I mean, he's done fantastic work so far in this year.
01:17
Remember, they went on to beat Kansas and Nebraska.
01:19
So they've got a couple of, you know, comfortable spots here and already a conference game under
01:23
their belt, under the lights, on the road.
01:27
It's a lot of points for Penn State to be laying.
01:29
I know how good Penn State is, but I can't get there on Penn State.
01:33
It's a line-ir pass.
