Media predictions for Illinois game

I've never really understood the phrase "trap game". Is that just sports speak for "game we should win, but for some reason we are afraid our boys might choke?" Either way, I agree with this guy about the wakeup call against Purdue. I'd be shocked if we don't come out flying on all cylinders after last week.

I'm not certain but I think it means a game that a team might look past and play without energy as a result.
 

I'm not sure what the 9-0 refers to, but we've only played 7 games.

It's how many writers on OTE pick the game straight up or vs the spread. In this case, everyone picked the Gophers straight up, and had them covering.
