SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White looks to start a new streak after her run of 7 consecutive winning college football best bets came to an end last week.

This Saturday, Alex likes a side in a Big Ten matchup featuring the Minnesota Golden Gophers (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) at the Illinois Fighting Illini (6-2, 3-2). Kickoff from Champaign is scheduled for noon ET and will be on FS1.

Illinois might be ranked No. 24 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, but BetMGM Sportsbook has Minnesota favored by 3 points as of Friday, 8:55 p.m. ET.

Listen below to why this is Alex’s best bet.
