00:00you got a big game today joe look at this illinois and indiana center stage today top 20 battle 52

00:06and a half is the total six and a half to seven is a favorite here for indiana the big cigarette

00:11as i like to call them in action today indiana's won four of the last five the last time these two

00:17teams played were a couple of years ago illinois won an ot 48 45 i just think and it is intriguing

00:24this line is open up at three and a half we're seeing six and a half's in the market and just

00:29knowing how good illinois was on their road matchup where they laid two and a half points against duke

00:34and dominated that matchup and ran and threw it all over that blue devil defense you would think

00:40that they would be catching less than six and a half points in this matchup but you know indiana

00:45under signetti has played bully ball and it's going to come down to the quarterbacks luke outmire or

00:50fernando mendoza yeah i would lay it this is a game let me just say it's evenly matched it wouldn't

00:56shock me either way if illinois pulls it out or indiana the spread is telling me i would lay it

01:01with the hoosiers i do believe mendoza is a little bit better than outmire especially when you just

01:07look at the physicality of the defense i like indiana's over illinois but again we'll see how

01:12this game plays out about total joe you take a look at altmire in the season 709 passing yards how

01:16about this mendoza 708 passing yards eight touchdowns on one side nine on the other these two teams joe can

01:22get up and down the field and signetti's one of those guys who i do appreciate almost like james

01:26franklin there is no like late in the game let's run the clock out it's late in the game let me punch

01:31another one in so you remember my name at this point is this an over game for you i would i would lean to

01:36the over here again i don't even if they run the football you're gonna have chunk plays i believe at

01:42some point and again when you just look at the body of work last time they played i i would lean to the

01:47over the 52 and a half might be priced just right but i still think indiana's the side i would take a

01:55shot on mendoza in terms of the passing total we saw mensa even in the loss against illinois have

02:01great success over the top yep and i think mendoza could have two plus touchdowns in this matchup how

02:07about that look at that get some offense up and down the field the big siga google him joe if they google

02:12you what do they find rapture great pictures big rapture great pictures ai ai pictures right

02:18yeah tough seeing at this point we could go deeper into that but we're not going to do that today
