Michigan at Illinois

March 2, 2023
img7:00 PM Eastern

This is a key Big Ten matchup and I'm finding solid value on the total. Michigan is in second place in the Big 10 with 7 losses just ahead of seven teams that have 8 conference defeats. Michigan's offense clicks at home but has averaged 60.8 points in its last five road contests. The Wolverines are 17-7 UNDER the total after covering four or five of their last six. Illinois is on a 7-3 run UNDER ranked sixth in the conference in points surrendered and second in field goal shooting allowed. They also lead the Big Ten and are third in the NCAA in blocked shots, averaging 5.7 per game. Illinois is 10-2 UNDER the total in March contests, plus 39-23 UNDER at home after failing to cover in back-to-back games. Play Michigan/Illinois UNDER the total.
