Illinois vs Rutgers Odds, Preview, and Best Bet – 11/23/2024

The Illinois Fighting Illini will take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on November 23, 2024, at 12:00 pm EST. DraftKings Sportsbook has listed the Rutgers Scarlet Knights as one-point underdogs for this game. The total for this matchup has been set at 47.5 points. Fans can expect an exciting showdown between these two collegiate football teams as they battle it out on the field. Here, we make our best bet for what should be an intriguing Illinois vs Rutgers matchup from Piscataway, NJ.

Illinois In An Interesting Road Spot

So far this season, the Illinois Fighting Illini have played three road games, winning just one of the three. But they have faced only ranked opponents on the road going into this matchup against Rutgers. Here, the Fighting Illini will look to take advantage of playing an unranked foe on the road for the first time this season. For that to happen, the mediocre Illinois offense will need to be at or near its best to prevent Rutgers from keeping possession and wearing Illinois down on the ground.

Rutgers Looks For Third Straight Win

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have won two games in a row going into this weekend's college football action. They have beaten Minnesota and Maryland in their last two outings, reaching six wins and bowl eligibility. Here, the Scarlet Knights have a chance to get to 4-4 in conference play going into the final game of their regular season. After allowing under 20 points in two straight games, they will look to put together another dominant performance on defense.

Illinois vs Rutgers Prediction

Our best bet for Illinois vs Rutgers is for the Rutgers Scarlet Knights to get the win on their home field. Rutgers has really stepped things up on defense of late, which will be significant against an Illinois team that has cooled off significantly on offense since their hot start to the season. Expect Rutgers to get back to the .500 mark in conference play for the season by winning a competitive game on Saturday afternoon.
