Colgate vs Illinois Prediction


In this Colgate vs Illinois Prediction, Illinois is coming as -28.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off wins in their previous matches, but Illinois has been undefeated in its three games played this season and are playing their fourth consecutive game at home. On the flip side, Colgate has lost its only road game this season and are facing an Illinois team that is superior both offensively and defensively. The Fighting Illini have the 16th-best offense in the country and have been winning by an average of 35 points per game this season, so I expect them to win this one comfortably. Take Illinois and lay the points at home.

Nikos Lagouretos's Pick: Illinois -28.5
