Illinois Game Tuesday: Illinois vs. Minnesota odds, prediction, injury report, schedule, live stream, and TV channel

Illinois basketball has finally returned, and that means the return of my subpar betting insight.

Here is some game and betting info for the Illini game against Minnesota

Illinois vs. Minnesota odds for Tuesday, January 4

The Illini are coming into the game against the Golden Gophers with a line of -7. According to WynnBET, if you take Illinois -7, you get -105 odds. If you decide to take Minnesota at +7, they are getting -115 odds.

On the moneyline, Illinois is a heavy favorite at -285. A $100 bet here wouldn’t net you much, as you would walk home with $135.09. But, if you took Minnesota, the Golden Gophers are getting +225 odds on the moneyline.  A $100 bet would net you $325.

The over-under for the game is 140 points. Either way you bet this line, you are getting -110 odds

Illinois vs. Minnesota prediction for Tuesday, January 4

Both teams are going to be rusty, so I think things like rebounding are going to matter even more with so many missed shots early. I like Illinois in the rebounding department by a wide margin.

Take Illinois and the -7. I think the Illini will start cold offensively, but the team rebounding is going to give the Orange and Blue so many chances at scoring. It will be overwhelming for Minnesota.

Obviously, take Illinois straight-up on the moneyline. You aren’t going to make a lot, but I think Illinois wins this game by double-digits.

Finally, the over-under. The first half over-under is 66 points, which I would take the under. But I think both teams shake off the rust and the game over-under of 140 points will be surpassed. So, I would take the over.
