Football Prop Bets for the Illinois-Indiana Game Week 1
Game and player prop bets are available for the Week 1 game between Illinois and Indiana this Friday night at 8 pm ET. Indiana was a -3 home favorite at most books. The line had come down from -6.
The Illinois Fighting Illini, which entered this season expected to win just 5 regular season games according to oddsmakers, got off to a brilliant start to the season. They finished against Wyoming with a lopsided 38-6 win in Week 0.
Chase Brown scored three touchdowns and rushed for 151 yards and Tommy DeVito completed 27 of 37 passes for 192 yards and two scores in his debut.
Brown's Total Rushing Yards total against Indiana was coming in at OVER/UNDER 86½ Friday night.
Second-year Illinois head coach Bret Bielema felt confident about this year's team.
"Everybody understands the things we're saying but also the things we're not saying," Bielema says. "The expectation level is a lot better in the building."
The Illini will face an Indiana team they've played against twice since 2013, losing both games by double digits.
Indiana (76) had a power rating of 68.45 coming into this game. That is adjusted to 70.59 with the home field advantage.
Illinois (74) had a power rating of 68.92. They would actually be a -1 point favorite on a neutral field. The Hoosiers should really only be a -2 point favorite here.
The Indiana Margin of Victory by 1-6 pts pays $350 for every $100 bet. Illinois by that range pays slightly more: $350.
Illinois was seeing 80% of the action and the Hoosiers line has been coming down to attract more money on Indiana, yet it has not gone below the 2.5. That could be an indication that the oddsmakers believe Indiana might win by 2 points.
