Illinois has gone 5-1 against the spread as a multi-score favorite this season, living up to more expectations than perhaps realized amid a 7-4 outright record. With Northwestern in a ripe letdown moment, newly eligible for a bowl, trusting the Illini to again cover a multi-score spread carries plenty of logic.

This is the biggest disaparity of the week in my power ratings. I make this closer to a 10-point spread. This is a simple buy-low, sell-high spot where I'm selling Northwestern after back-to-back, down to the wire wins, and buying Illinois low after their upset loss as a touchdown-plus favorite against Wisconsin. Illinois needs it more and they're the fresher team.
