Illinois Fighting Illini vs Richmond Spiders Point Spread Picks

Whenever you see a mid-major such as Richmond as a single digit dog vs. a BCS Conference team, it certainly makes it look easy for the Illini here. Richmond may be a mid-major but they made a three game run in the NCAA Tournament last season and are off to a 3-1 start. Illinois is 3-0, but has yet to ace a challenge and will need to step up their level here facing a Spider's team that is among the best as a dog in the country in recent years with a 41-16-2 ATS mark in their last 59. Illinois play with comfort at home, but put them at a neutral site as a favorite and they have taken the doughnut in their last nine at 0-9 ATS. Richmond in this one.
