💰 Best Bet #1 [Illinois / Spread / -7.5 at -110 / 55% / Illinois covers in 55% of simulations, driven by superior yards per play (5.8 vs. Wisconsin’s 4.2) and recent defensive havoc rate limiting opponents to under 20 points in three of last five games.]

💰 Best Bet #3 [Illinois / Moneyline / -220 / 68% / Illinois wins 68% of simulations, bolstered by quarterback efficiency edge and Wisconsin’s 1-6 conference record exposing vulnerabilities.]
