Illinois has developed a resilient identity under Bret Bielema, particularly when responding to adversity. After a tough conference defeat, the Illini have consistently regrouped and delivered strong efforts on the road. Bielema’s disciplined, physical approach translates well to bounce-back spots — controlling the trenches, slowing the pace, and refocusing on execution. That formula has produced a perfect 7-0 ATS record following Big Ten losses, with Illinois holding opponents to just 15.6 points per game in those situations. For bettors, that combination of resilience and defensive consistency makes Illinois a sharp play in classic rebound scenario. Washington is coming off of a tough loss as well. If you need a good teaser dog to add to a strong play this one fits the bill! Good luck
