Wisconsin vs Illinois Prediction

In this Wisconsin vs Illinois Prediction, Illinois is coming as -11.5 home favorites. Illinois has been the better team this season and has been almost perfect at home with just one loss in 13 home games played. Both teams are coming into this matchup in excellent form, as Illinois is 9-1 in its last 10 games while Wisconsin is 7-2 in its last 9 and both teams have similar ATS records this season, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 6-2 to the under in their last 8 games combined, with Illinois having the 34^th-best defense in the entire nation, so I expect a low-scoring affair today. Take the under 155 points.
