Illinois vs. Ohio State prediction for Thursday, February 24

I think the moneyline goes in favor of Illinois. Going on the road in the Big Ten is tough. The Illini will be prepared for this game.

Ohio State should keep it fairly close, though. Kofi Cockburn’s averages drop significantly when playing the Buckeyes. I see Ohio State being a thorn in Illinois’ side but the Illini still winning. I have the Buckeyes covering at +6.0

I don’t like either team offensively. Both programs are extremely inconsistent. That means I think the over-under of 139.5 will go under.
