From this video at the very least, it's very prominent the clear tier of top 3. If they are indeed enough set apart, hard to imagine that not being your starting tandem - regardless of the position flex aspect.

If indeed the case, quite possible (and likely) the splits end up all three at least 40-45 receptions (with one going over 50). Lots of unknown, but would be a very good core IMO.

Am I seeing this right? Favored by 45.5? That seems like a lot.

It is a lot, but I think the line is assuming that the Illini score about 7 touchdowns and only allow a field goal.

In general, there is a lot of value in taking the underdog to cover these large spreads in the first week of the season.

I'd stay away from this game. WIU caught some momentum at the end of the year but they had a ton of tranfers in and out. I think we win solidly but I wouldn't bet on this game

Updated Memorial Stadium Sellout Watch, one day out:

You'll note that I have a preliminary guess logged in there for tomorrow night - I reserve the right to make a relatively last minute update between now and tomorrow afternoon! I think we can get to 58,000, which blows past my expectations for this game early on. Essentially all remaining seats in the East Balcony are available for sale and just the top 10-15 rows of the East Main remain unavailable - at this point they will remain unavailable.

I’ve probably looked right at it and didn’t see it, but does anyone have the schedule of the game day events?

Well, the weather channel forecast is calling for about 76 degrees and NO WIND to speak of; 5-10mph. I hope Kaden and Malik have breakout games and no player gets injuredl.
