Last week against Rutgers, Illinois held out their starting DE Oluwole Betiku and DT Jamal Woods even though they were (supposedly) healthy enough to play.
Safe to say they were focused on this game against Michigan State. I think Illinois DL can create some problems against Michigan read option
At the same time, Illinois offense is still one-dimensional. Michigan State defense has regressed the past few weeks and their top linebacker is suspended. But Illinois is still a class below OSU/Wisconsin/PSU. They just have to key in on the run. Brandon Peters has never shown to be a prolific passer. I believe Illinois is also gonna be missing one of their receivers.
There's supposed to be some moderate winds as well
For me, I like under 47
