[ad-6571516]<\/p>\n<p>The Illinois defense has struggled in the last few weeks and in their 3-game losing streak they are allowing opponents to shoot 51.3% from the floor. They will have to shore up their D tonight facing Indiana, as the Hoosiers are the 2nd highest scoring team in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois is led by Brandon Paul (17.4 ppg), who is averaging less than 14 ppg in his last 4 games. If Illinois&#8217; defense continues to struggle Paul, D.J. Richardson (11.8 ppg), and Tracy Abrams (11.4 ppg) will have to have big scoring games to have any chance to score an upset.<\/p>\n<p>In some betting trends for this Big 10 match up Indiana is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and they have an Under record of 9-4 in their last 13 road games.<\/p>\n<p>Illinois is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games, and they have an Under record of 7-2-1 in their last 10 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jason&#8217;s Pick:<\/strong> Indiana has covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 games against Illinois and that trend will continue. This game is an easy call, as Indiana will easily win and cover even on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indiana vs Illinois Betting!
