Minnesota vs Illinois | Predictions

NCAA Football Free Pick – Saturday, November 13, 2010

vs.

Minnesota @ Illinois – 12:00 PM ET

The Illini thought they had a good defense until Michigan shredded them last weekend. Meanwhile Minnesota knows that they stink and are just playing out the string. The most intriguing part is who might coach the Gophers next year and maybe the Illini too, depending on how these last fews games playout. Getting to the spread -21 is a little too rich for my blood with a team like Illinois. Michigan State had a hard time besting that against Minny last week. I would pass on this one.
