We were on the Illini just a couple days ago as an underdog against UCLA. Illinois won that game outright, and today we are backing them again. Both of these programs are coming off impressive top 10 wins. Virginia has had difficulties scoring the basketball in recent years, but this group doesn’t seem to have that issue. They've scored 85+ points in 2 out of their 3 games thus far. With that being said, Illinois has a huge fan base in Las Vegas this weekend. This is going to feel like a home game. After seeing the way Illinois dominated UCLA in the second half on Friday, getting plus money here is a no brainer for us. Our stake is 1 unit on the dog to win outright.
