Illinois has gotten off to a hot start in 2022, entering Saturday’s matchup at 4-1 and riding the high of a 34-10 win in Camp Randall which cost Paul Chryst his job. Now they play host to the Hawkeyes for a night game in Champaign looking to avenge losses in each of the last eight seasons. Iowa comes in just looking to be competent on offense.
Vegas is not expecting much on that front. Our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook opened this one at Illinois -3.5 with an over/under at 35.5 total points. That has moved around a bit during the week, but as of Friday morning we’re right back at Illinois -3.
