Here, we break down the all-Illinois matchup and give you our best bet for Illinois vs Northwestern in the Big Ten.
Illinois Looks For Top-Five Big Ten Finish
Going into rivalry week, the Illinois Fighting Illini are 8-3 overall and 5-3 in the Big Ten. They could finish this season with a top-five conference record in the Big Ten with a win over Northwestern here. To get such a win, Illinois will hope that their offense continues to play at a high level. The Illini have scored 38 points in each of their last two games, which ended with wins over Rutgers and Michigan State. Another strong offensive showing could be enough to help the Illini cruise to a road win over their rivals.
Northwestern Hopes to Awaken Its Offense
Northwestern is out of bowl contention as they are 4-7 going into the final week of the regular season. But the Wildcats can still end their season on a high note by beating their in-state rivals in this contest. Northwestern has lost two straight games, with their struggling offense being a huge concern going into Saturday's action. Northwestern has scored a total of 13 points in their last two games against Michigan and Ohio State and they will need to do more on offense to have a chance to avoid ending their season on a three-game losing streak.
Illinois vs Northwestern Betting Prediction
We will take Illinois to cover the spread as a road favorite in the Illinois vs Northwestern matchup in Big Ten play. Northwestern's offense is not likely to do enough to keep up with the Fighting Illini, who have been one of the better teams in this conference all season, even if they are not quite as good as the Oregons and Ohio States of the world. Expect Illinois to get a ninth win on the season here as they should play an impressive game in Evanston, IL.
