College Football Predictions and Picks
Southern Illinois at Illinois (Sat, 2:00 p.m. ET)
Illinois -35.5 (-108)
Spread
Illinois's own projected yardage output (509.5) is more than double Southern Illinois's (235.5) — a genuine, decisive talent gap between a Power Four program and an FCS opponent.
Over 55.5 (-106)
Total
Illinois's own projected yardage output is enough on its own to comfortably clear this entire total, regardless of how little Southern Illinois manages to produce on the other side.
Ca'Lil Valentine Anytime Touchdown (-330)
Anytime Touchdown Scorer
The shortest price on the entire touchdown board, narrowly ahead of Collin Dixon — a real sign Valentine is expected to see a heavy workload against an outmatched FCS defense.
