Bet On NCAA Football \u2013 Hoosiers Aim For First Win Of 2010 In Illinois<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before\u00a0College Football Gambling<\/strong><\/a> fans turn their attention to other sports betting events this week, we have the Thursday NCAA game of the day pick for you. It\u2019s time for our weekly Football picks for online ncaa football betting action.<\/p>\n

Team records:<\/strong>
\nIndiana: 4-2 SU, 2-3 ATS
\nIllinois: 3-3 SU, 3-2 ATS <\/p>\n

Those who\u00a0bet on NCAA football won\u2019t hear about Indiana-Illinois when the big games of the week are discussed, but these two are aiming to do something they haven\u2019t done a lot of lately, and that\u2019s get to a bowl game. Illinois has gone bowling twice since 1999, while the Hoosiers have done so just once since 1993.<\/p>\n

Indiana Illinois Betting \u2013\u00a0Saturday, October 23<\/strong>rd<\/strong><\/sup>, 12:00 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Hoosiers (4-2, 0-2) got a massive day from Ben Chappell in a 36-34 win at home over Arkansas State, as he was 26-of-42 for 382 yards and four touchdowns, but more importantly, he didn\u2019t throw any picks. <\/p>\n

Tandon Doss and Damarlo Belcher each had over 100 yards receiving yards and a touchdown catch for the Hoosiers, who racked up 495 yards and are now fifth in the nation in the air. The defense was admittedly poor and they allowed 20 points in a frantic fourth quarter, but they did enough to hold on for the win, or maybe it was the offense won in spite of them. <\/p>\n

Covering the spread would have been a sports betting bonus<\/a>, but the Hoosiers failed to do so.<\/p>\n

The Fighting Illini (3-3, 1-2) hung with Michigan State in the first half before fading to a 26-6 loss, and it was turnovers that killed them. Nathan Scheelhaase was 15-of-27 for 141 yards, but his picks accounted for three of Illinois\u2019 four turnovers, and the Fighting Illini aren\u2019t even close to being good enough to overcome that many mistakes. <\/p>\n

Other than that, the Illini fared pretty well, taking a 6-3 lead into halftime, but the Spartans made great adjustments, and the Illini shot themselves in the foot.<\/p>\n

Your\u00a0pay per head sportsbook<\/a> has Illinois as a 13.5-point favorite at home, where they are 4-1 SU and 3-2 ATS in their last five meetings with the Hoosiers, who are 2-8 SU in their last 10 road games, but a respectable 6-4 ATS.
