#362 ASA FREE PICK on Illinois -3.5 over Virginia, Saturday at 4 PM ET - The Illini are 1-1 on the season but outgained both opponents overall and on the ground. After 2 games Illinois is +25 first downs, +355 total yards, and +262 yards rushing. UVA beat Richmond 34-17 but did allowed 170 yards rushing on 4.9 YPC which could be a problem in this game vs a solid Illini running game. This is a big time revenger for Illinois after losing 42-14 @ UVA last season. The Cavs are breaking in a new offensive and defensive system under head coach Elliott who came over from Clemson. It will take them some time to get acclimated on both sides of the ball. Offensive line is a definite weakness for Virginia as they lost their entire offensive line from last year and their 1 semi-experienced starter up front injured his knee is fall camp and is out. The Illini have had an extra day to get ready for this important home game after playing last Friday night vs Indiana. We’ll call for an Illinois win and cover at home.
