Minnesota vs. Illinois BETTING PREDICTION
Take the over. The Minnesota offense looked great last week at Maryland scoring 48 points. Max Brosmer had his best game of the season and I think we see another strong performance against a decent Illini defense. On the other side, Luke Altmyer struggled last week against Oregon, but overall he has a had great season. I expect him to get back on track here. Over is the play.
Minnesota vs. Illinois Prediction: Over 45.5
