Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Illinois vs. Northwestern
Saturday, November 30, 2024 12:00 PM
Play: Point Spread: -7.5/-105 Illinois
The majority of the Illinois offense is going through WR Pat Bryant, and his 83 yards /game. His break away speed and ability to get to the endzone are masterful. Illinois are efficient by working the ball for the best look downfield, and that takes time to develop. The Fighting Illini will be able to keep their QB standing up and get those looks here.
Northwestern has a huge weak spot, that's their ability to put points up, their front needs to get moving, and try to get early scores. But Illinois is racking up 27 sacks in the season, Northwestern will struggle if they can't keep up on the frontline. Northwestern won’t last long in this game if Illinois plays even just reasonably decently.
Illinois wins handily on Saturday afternoon!
