4* Free Week 4 NCAA Betting Prediction: Illinois -14
Illinois is poised to not only pick up victory, but cover the spread over Florida Atlantic. With the stronger passing game, I see this is an excellent matchup for Illinois.
FAU does not have the secondary, or for that matter the defense to hold the Illini down for too long in this one, and I expect Altmyer to start living up to expectations finding Williams, Washington and Bryant early and often.
My pick for this game is Illinois at -14.
