Coming off a 43-0 shutout over William & Mary, the Virginia Cavaliers opened as 11-point Vegas favorites over the Illinois Fighting Illini, who are coming off a disappointing 30-37 loss to UTSA over the weekend.
Within hours, the line moved down to just Virginia -10, trending as low as -9.5 in some books.
Illinois opened the season with a 30-22 win over what seemed to be a Nebraska two weeks ago.
This is the third meeting all-time between the two programs and the first in the regular season. Virginia lost 21-31 in the 1990 Citrus Bowl and again, 21-63, in the 1999 Micronpc.
