This is an 8* ASSASSIN on Illinois.
We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.
This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics and common sense:
As note that Illinois is already 4-2 ATS this year against teams with winning records and 3-1 ATS against good offensive clubs which average 77-plus points per contest, while Minnesota is just 4-5 ATS at home this year and only 2-3 ATS against good offensive clubs which average 77-plus points per contest.
The bottom line: Indiana isn't the power house it used to be, but the Hoosiers come to town next for Minnesota, so the possibility of a "look ahead" does definitely exist. Illinois also plays with revenge after falling 69-58 to the Gophers last year. The Illini have won two straight, including a quality 70-64 win over Missouri as a five-point dog. But with a game up next at Michigan, clearly ILLINOIS can't take anything for granted tonight. We expect the visitors to give it their best shot and leaving everything on the floor. Grab the points.
