- (#195) Illinois Fighting Illini @ (#196) Washington Huskies | OVER | .
Still ranked after last weekends home loss against Ohio State, this should be an easier game for the Fighting Illini, even on the road. Illinois has been great at passing the ball this season and has scored a ton of points. In three road games this season, the Illini are averaging 32.7 PPG.
On the other hand, Washington is actually the favorite for this contest, even as the unranked team. The Huskies have also been great offensively, averaging even more PPG than Illinois this season at 34.6 compared to 34.0. Illinois' defense has been extremely poor at times as well, giving up 39.0 PPG over the past four weeks.
I believe that both of these offenses will show up on Saturday afternoon in this extremely massive game for conference standings implications. This has all the means of a shootout and Husky Stadium has seen some high scoring games over the past years. We're on the "over."
Burns' Prediction: 38-34 Washington.
