Penn State at Illinois odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Penn State at Illinois odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 7 Penn State Nittany Lions (2-0, 0-0 Big Ten) visit the Illinois Fighting Illini (1-1, 0-0) in a Big Ten matchup Saturday. Kickoff from Memorial Stadium in Champaign, Ill., is set for noon ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Penn State vs. Illinois odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Nittany Lions won 63-7 vs. Delaware last Saturday as they covered as 44-point favorites. QB Drew Allar continued his strong start to the season, completing 85% (22-of-26) of his passes for 204 yards and 1 TD before the starters were pulled. The defense and run game also impressed in the win as LB Dominici DeLuca returned an interception for a 26-yard touchdown and the Nittany Lions rumbled for 315 yards and 6 TDs on the ground.

The Fighting Illini are coming off a 34-23 loss vs. the Kansas Jayhawks last Saturday, failing to cover as 3.5-point underdogs. QB Luke Altmyer seemed to be the entire Illini offense in that loss as he completed 68% (19-of-28) of his passes for 202 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs and led the rushing attack with 70 rushing yards and 2 TDs on 13 carries.

Penn State is No. 7 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Penn State at Illinois picks and predictions

Prediction

Penn State 35, Illinois 17

Moneyline

PASS.

Penn State should come away with the win, but as a (-600) favorite the moneyline is not worth the risk. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN PENN STATE -14.5 (-110).

Penn State is clearly the more complete and talented team in this matchup, but they have struggled in recent meetings against Illinois on the road. The Nittany Lions are only 9-4 all-time in Champaign but just 3-2 in their last 5 there. Don’t be shocked if Illinois gives this Penn State team a battle, but I still lean towards Penn State to cover as this may be the most complete Penn State team in years.

Over/Under

BET OVER 48.5 (-110).

This Fighting Illini allowed 34 points, 277 passing yards and 262 rushing yards last week vs. Kansas, so the Nittany Lions should have their way. Illinois will not be able to stop the RB duo of Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen from getting this Penn State offense going and even if it has an answer for the ground game, it’ll still have to worry about Allar who’s been a pinpoint passer so far this season.

Illinois at Kansas odds, picks and predictions

Looking at Friday’s Illinois Fighting Illini at Kansas Jayhawks college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Illinois Fighting Illini (1-0) and Kansas Jayhawks (1-0) clash in David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence on Friday night. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Illinois vs. Kansas odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Illinois snuck by Toledo in a hard-fought home game Saturday. The Illini were tagged with 100 yards in penalties and had to overcome a 2-for-8 performance in 3rd-down conversions. They rallied from a 19-point deficit in a 30-28 triumph over the Rockets.

The Jayhawks got a 276-yard, 2-TD performance from senior QB Jason Bean in their 48-17 Week 1 victory over FCS Missouri State. Bean went 22 of 28 through the air as Kansas rolled up 521 total yards in its 3rd straight season-opening win.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Illinois at Kansas picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas 28, Illinois 27

Moneyline

Liking Illinois and the points but respecting host Kansas in what could well be a 1-possession margin at the end. PASS.

Against the spread

Kansas has lost 5 straight against the number, and some bettors may still be analyzing the mental picture that went 5-0 straight up to open the 2022 season.

A mental image of last week’s foes for each — Toledo and Missouri State — do not do the Illini justice. The Rockets were a big test for a UI defense replacing quite a few tacklers. The opening games on each side spell an Illinois team that’s up to speed and a Kansas one that might get caught flat-footed in Friday’s early action.

The Illinois offense is typically solid on 1st downs. Don’t figure on a 25% 3rd-down success rate slowing its progress as much in this battle.

BACK THE FIGHTING ILLINI +3 (-105).

Over/Under

Its easier to envision a total of 40-something developing than a 60-something. Still the lean on the Under is not strong enough to require an account log-on. PASS.

Illinois vs. Arkansas picks and predictions

Prediction

Illinois 71, Arkansas 68

Moneyline

BET ILLINOIS +110

While Illinois closed out its season with back-to-back losses, it lost both games by a total of 8 points and scored more than 70 in each of its last 3 games. The Fighting Illini will look to control the pace of this game and put Arkansas on its heels.

Arkansas dropped 4 of its final 5 games scoring 61 or fewer points in 2 of them and dropping 2 of the games as a favorite. The Razorbacks have been streaky this season which does not build confidence in them entering a win-or-go-home scenario.

Against the spread

PASS.

The moneyline is the more profitable play on Illinois in this matchup.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 143.5 (-105).

Defense is both Illinois and Arkansas’ strong point which will aide the Under in this matchup.

For Illinois, the Under is 20-5-1 in its last 26 NCAA Tournament games while the Under is 8-2 in Arkansas’ last 10 NCAA Tournament games.

As it stands, 143.5 would be the 2nd-highest closing line for the Fighting Illini in their last 10 games.

Big Ten Tournament: Penn State vs. Illinois odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Penn State vs. Illinois odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Penn State Nittany Lions (19-12, 10-10 Big Ten) take on the Illinois Fighting Illini (20-11, 11-9) Thursday in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. Tip from United Center is set for 6:30 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Penn State vs. Illinois odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Penn State failed to cover as a 3.5-point home favorite in a 65-64 victory over Maryland in its regular-season finale Sunday. It won back-to-back games, and 5 of its last 6, to end the year. The Nittany Lions are 4-5-1 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 games and sit at 16-13-2 ATS this season.

Illinois covered as a 7-point road underdog in a 76-71 loss at Purdue Sunday in its final game of the regular season. The Fighting Illini are 5-5 straight up and ATS in their last 10 games and finished the regular season 18-13 ATS.

Moneyline

PASS.

Illinois (-145) is not worth a play on Illinois in what should be a close game.

With Penn State taking both season matchups by more than 10 points, you would be justified to sprinkle half a unit on the Nittany Lions (+125) if you are feeling lucky.

Against the spread

LEAN PENN STATE +2.5 (-110).

Penn State is 6-2 ATS in its last 8 Thursday games and is 3-1 ATS on neutral courts this season.

Illinois has been struggling against the spread recently, going 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games overall, 3-8 ATS in its last 11 neutral site games, and 1-6 ATS in its last 7 Thursday games.

The underdog is also 22-10-2 ATS in the last 34 meetings between these programs.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 140.5 (-115).

The Under is 4-1 in the Nittany Lions last 5 neutral site games and 12-3 in their last 15 games against a team with a winning outright record. As it stands, 140.5 would be tied for the 2nd-highest closing line in their last 10 games.

The Under is 10-3 in their last 13 games for the Fighting Illini against a team with a winning record.

The Illinois Fighting Illini (20-10, 11-8) battle the No. 5 Purdue Boilermakers (25-5, 14-5) Sunday. Tip from Mackey Arena is set for 12:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Illinois vs. Purdue odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Illinois at Purdue picks and predictions

Purdue 74, Illinois 70

Moneyline

PASS.

Illinois has lost 4 in the row on the road. Given that and that Purdue isn’t worth the pricetag, ultimately pass here.

Against the spread

LEAN ILLINOIS +7.5 (-105).

Neither team has rewarded bettors lately, but Illinois has been better in Big Ten battles than Purdue. The Fighting Illini are just 10-9 ATS in conference games while Purdue is 8-9-2 ATS.

Both teams are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. Illinois has covered 3 of its last 5 road games though. Purdue is 9-14-2 ATS as the favorite as well.

Considering the trends, back ILLINOIS +7.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET OVER 139.5 (-110).

Illinois has gone Over in 4 of its last 8 games, and Purdue has gone Over in 6 of its last 10, pushing once in that span as well. The Boilermakers have scored at least 70 points in 2 of their last 3 games as well.

The Fighting Illini also struggle to defend the 3, allowing the 156th-best opponents’ 3-point FG percentage (33.4%). Purdue ranks 89th in the nation in FG percentage (46.1%). That efficiency could create issues and pick up the tempo.

Back the OVER 139.5 (-110).

Michigan at Illinois picks and predictions

Prediction

Illinois 70, Michigan 67

Moneyline

PASS.

While Illinois has yet to lose 2 straight games this season, -220 is too much to risk on Illinois or any straight wager. And after a tough overtime battle with Wisconsin, Michigan could come in with a bit of a hangover effect on the road. Therefore, stay away.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

MICHIGAN +4.5 (-105).

Michigan has been taking games to the wire of late. A final-second shot by Hunter Dickinson on Sunday was the shot needed to get the Wolverines to overtime against the Badgers and allow them to pull out the win.

This will be another close call in Champagne and neither team should be favored by 4.5 points. With Michigan being the underdog, I will take the value with them to keep it close.

Over/Under

UNDER 143.5 (-105).

Michigan has had a steady pace of Under totals on the road. Four of the Wolverines’ last 5 road games have gone Under and 4 of 5 road games against a team with a winning home record have also gone Under.

Michigan has not performed well on the road with a 3-5 record and Illinois is 14-2 at home.wise. The Wolverines will need to perform better to have a chance Thursday, but Illinois tends to play to its competition. This includes a 6-1-1 record to the Under against a team with a losing road record.

Both sides will be physical, and points will be at a premium so Under 143.5 is the side to wager.

Northwestern at Illinois odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Northwestern Wildcats at Illinois odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 22 Northwestern Wildcats (20-7, 11-5 Big Ten) and Illinois Fighting Illini (18-9, 9-7) resume their rivalry Thursday in Champaign.

Against the spread

The Fighting Illini are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against winning teams.

UI is susceptible to turnovers leading to some edge for the visitors, but give the Illini an edge in cranking out the better looks around the rim and crashing the boards to create extra chances.

This contest marks NU’s first on the road after 3 straight home games.

BACK THE ILLINI -5.5 (-105).

Over/Under

There are plenty of scoring spiral factors at work here: NU points off turnovers. UI 2nd-chance points and free throws. Both sides shoot a lot of 3s; either could run into a few in short order.

Illinois at Penn State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Illinois at Penn State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Illinois Fighting Illini (17-7, 8-5 Big Ten) take on the slumping Penn State Nittany Lions (14-11, 5-9) at Bryce Jordan Center Tuesday. Tip is set for 7 p.m. ET (ESPNU). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Illinois vs. Penn State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

This will be a rematch of a Dec.10 matchup in which Penn State, as a 10-point underdog, went to Champagne and beat Illinois 74-59.

Illinois recorded a 69-60 win as a 6-point favorite against Rutgers Saturday and now visits Penn State team riding a 4-game losing skid.

The Nittany Lions 74-68 at Maryland Saturday, but covered the spread as 8-point underdogs. Despite the against-the-spread (ATS) victory, the wheels have fallen off Penn State since starting the season 11-3. Following losses to Purdue, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Maryland, a win Tuesday would go a long way to correct the ills of the recent past.

Illinois at Penn State picks and predictions

Prediction

Illinois 75, Penn State 70

Moneyline

PASS.

Penn State (+135) has struggled in recent outings and doesn’t have a high enough price tag for a team entering on a 4-game losing skid.

Illinois (-170) is back on track following a mid-season lull. However, this line is too steep for me for a standalone bet but would be good to add to a parlay.

Against the spread

TAKE ILLINOIS -3.5 (-105).

Penn State has found difficulty in hitting the 3-point shot recently. This is the way the Lions like to score and with this being ineffective, the Illini will be able to hold the home team down.

Illinois is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games overall and this game will make it 6-for-6 as they take care of Penn State and cover the points.

Over/Under

TAKE OVER 140.5 (-110).

Although Penn State is not likely to win. It will score just enough to get this game to the Over.

The Nittany Lions have gone Over in 6 straight home games and in 6 of their last 7 after a loss.

Illinois will come into this game ready to revenge the early December loss to Penn State and it will score in this game.

Illinois at Iowa odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Illinois at Iowa odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 25 Illinois Fighting Illini (16-6, 7-4 Big Ten) visit the Iowa Hawkeyes (14-8, 6-5) in a Big Ten battle Saturday afternoon. The contest at Carver-Hawkeye Arena will tip off at 2:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Illinois vs. Iowa odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Illinois is 7-1 straight up and against the spread since Jan. 7. Despite playing at a quick tempo, the Illini has posted solid defensive numbers of late. Over that 7-1 stretch, UI has held foes under 61 points 5 times.

The Hawkeyes lost a pair of road games Jan. 21 at Ohio State and Jan. 26 at Michigan State, but they have bounced back with 2-straight wins (straight up and against the spread) at home. Iowa has won 5 in a row on home hardwood and is 11-2 at home this season.
