Illinois football is gearing up to take on the Wisconsin Badgers in a tough Big Ten battle this weekend.

With so much on the line for a potential bowl game in the future, both the Illini and Badgers are sure to come out strong. But will either team hit the betting numbers that WynnBET is putting out for the game on Saturday?

Here is moneyline, spread, and total points betting advice for the Illinois football vs Wisconsin game.

Main Bets

For the Main bets, WynnBET has the game lines. The game lines include the spread, moneyline, and total points. As of right now, Wisconsin is a 10-point favorite, and you are getting -110 odds either way you bet it.

For the money line, Wisconsin is favored to win and is going off at -400 if you bet on them. Illinois, on the other hand, is going off at +320.

When it comes to the over-under, the line is at 42.5 points right now. You are getting -110 odds on either side of that bet.

  • The Analysis

Both Wisconsin and Illinois are coming into the game on Saturday with statistically bad offenses. The Badgers average 350.2 yards per game and rank No. 92 in the nation, while the Illini are at 350.3 yards per game and ranked No. 91 in the country.

Wisconsin’s defense is what sets them apart. They are the best in the country against the run and top 40 against the pass. Illinois’ weakness is pass defense, as they rank sub-100 in the country stopping the opposing team’s passing attacks. The one caveat is Wisconsin’s quarterback, Graham Mertz, is questionable for the game.

  • The Picks

With the Badgers losing their past two games by a combined scored of 79-30, mixed in with their quarterback being on the mend, I think you have to take Illinois +10. I also believe there is a tremendous amount of value in the Illini at +320. I see this to be a little bit of a risk, but Illinois winning outright wouldn’t shock me. Finally, the over-under should hit under 42.5 points. Both offenses aren’t playing well, and they are both running programs. That should keep the clock moving.
