The line has shrunk from 10½ because of the quarterbacks. Andrew Marty has given the Wildcats a pulse while Brandon Peters might still be in concussion protocol. So unless you have inside information (precisely why college football needs an injury report), you should wait to bet until closer to kickoff. Me? I’ve got a deadline. And given that Northwestern doesn’t care enough about this result to burn tailback Evan Hull’s redshirt, I’m taking the Illini.
