They always get hyped up for big games like this and I just don't see us losing in the Superdome. Not to go ahead and jinx myself but I'm just never wrong about these things!!! 
Plus we just beat the #2 team in the nation...I'm thinking we can handle #7 just fine.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!
I'll give ya the home field advantage thing. But, a string of a few good games means little. Case in point, Syracuse was 9-3 heading into the fiesta bowl in 98 on an 8 game win streak, and they got beaten on by KSU 35-17, the difference in talent level was awful, and that was WITH MCNabb. Illinois has been strong all year, and good teams don't let crowd get to em anyways. But, I'll give LSU some credit on this, which is why the sugar bowl score won't be all that bad...
Illinois 34 LSU 27
