I'm feeling this game will be one of those "only won by 10 points but wasn't actually that close" games.
Something tells me your gut goes with a bigger win than that34-17 Illinois. Comfortable, but not a blowout...
Look for the big guy in Orange and Blue sitting next to you! My first game in more than 30 years!I'm looking forward to this. We should roll them. Looking forward to seeing YankeeIllini and maybe meeting a few others at Rentschler. I hope we paint the place Orange!
We were there.Illinois should win, but bad things can happen on the road. I wonder when was the last time the Illini won a road non-conference game? Edit-found the answer to my question. They won at Syracuse in 2007, 41-20.
This should not be competitive. UConn are absolutely terrible.
I'm guessing vegas over corrects after taking a bath on the week 1 illini line. When do the lines open? guessing 21.5Illinois should be about a 17 point favorite I would guess.
