Should be a good game. Line is -8.5 Bama. Seems a little high IMO.
Both team love to run. Tempos 72+ each. 166.5 total could be in jeopardy.

The first real test for Illini this year.
Bama coming off the tough road loss to Purdue last Friday.


BMR prediction has it right at the spread.

On Illinois +8.5 here.

It's get or get got tonight.

I think Illinois could win this game outright and the moneyline isn't a bad look at all, especially at these levels.

I can some forecasts that have Illinois winning, but my confidence in those extremem ones is not too high, though it exists.

I was on this path at first glance then I realized Illinois hasn't played anyone so I backed off. They have a great team but only 1 returning starter.

Illinois hasn’t played a game yet

Alabama has played like shit

And it’s not even Thanksgiving

Nobody has a clue what’s going to happen tonight, though some would say that’s an opportunity

With the variance calculator you graced the forum with the true fair line is Illini +9.5. The bookmakers forgot to add variance. Good luck KVBster
