Illinois opens as big favorite vs. FAU

A lot of questions remain before Illinois takes the field Saturday afternoon vs. FAU, but Vegas think it’ll be a good day for the Illini.

Early odds on Sunday afternoon from Circa Las Vegas show Illinois as a 13-point favorite over Florida Atlantic. The over/under for the game is set at 49.5.

Illinois has one win on the season so far, a 2-point victory over Toledo, but the experts think the Illini can put up some points against the Owls.
