Illinois at Duke

The Illinois defense is loaded with talent. Linebacker Gabe Jacas is a pass-rushing force, while the secondary is outstanding, anchored by two-time All-Big Ten Star Xavier Scott. The offense lost a lot of production at wideout, but has deep running back depth, rushing for 209 yards in the opener. Illinois is on a 23-13-1 run UNDER the total. Duke had an attacking defense under first-year coach Manny Diaz last year and looks very good again with a strong returning front line. The secondary has shut down CB Chandler Rivers and ball-hawking safety Terry Moore. The offense can run with four returning starters on the O-line, plus RBs Jaquez Moore and Anderson Castle. Take Illinois/Duke UNDER the total.
