When Northwestern comes to Champaign next Saturday night for the regular season’s final game, the scuffling Illini are expected to come out on top.
It’s the fourth consecutive game to close out the season that the Illini are favored, however they are 2-1 in those contests after losing 27-10 to Wisconsin at Camp Randall on Saturday night.
FanDuel set the total for next week’s game at 47.5,
so we’re looking at a 27-20 kind of game, which feels about right if Illinois can get its offense moving, a major issue against the Badgers.
Moneyline for the Wildcats is +190, while it’s -235 for the Illini.
With a 10-win season now out of the picture, Illinois is still looking to approach at least eight regular season wins for the third time in four years (2022, 2024).
Kickoff on FOX is set for 6:30 p.m.
