After a disappointing letdown game against Rutgers this past weekend, the Illinois football team looks to get back on track against No. 20 Minnesota.

Illinois vs. Minnesota odds for week 10

Las Vegas has zero confidence in the Illini, as WynnBET is favoring Minnesota by 14.5 points. That means Illinois is being spotted over two touchdowns to start the game. At -110 on either side, if you bet 100, you would take home $190.91.

The moneyline is an ugly one for Illinois. Minnesota is favored at -700 while the Illini sit at +500. There is some value there if you want to take a serious gamble, though. Bet $100 on Illinois and you would take home $600. Throw $100 on Minnesota and you would take home $114.29.

Illinois games have been pretty low-scoring this season, so the over-under of 43.5 points is interesting. The Illini haven’t played in a game that hit 40 points since September 11.  That means six-straight contests for Illinois have been under 40 points. Minnesota has been over 43.5 points in all but three games this season, though.

Illinois injury report vs. Minnesota for week 10

Illinois is fairly healthy for the game on Saturday. Brandon Peters is back under center after Artur Sitkowski went down with a season-ending injury last game.

Besides that, everything is golden for the Illini. This might be the healthiest they have been this season.

Illinois vs. Minnesota prediction for week10

14.5 points is a lot to give a tough Illinois defense. Only two times this season has Illinois lost by multiple scores. I would take the +14.5 in favor of the Orange and Blue.

I think you avoid the moneyline. There is some value for taking Illinois at +500 because their defense can keep the team in the game, but this will be a tough one to win.

You should take the over 43.5 points as well. The Golden Gophers have a solid offense that should put up over 20 points. It is a matter of if Illinois can actually score the football. But the over should hit.
