BetUS welcomes gamblers from both the state of Illinois and Nebraska to bet the Cornhuskers vs. Fighting Illini game.
Unless you're a gambler or diehard fan of either team, this game likely won't be attracting much attention as both teams come into the Friday night matchup with 2-3 records Straight Up. Nebraska is 2-3 Against The Spread while Illinois is yet to cover (0-5 ATS) this season. It's very rare for a team to start any season 0-6 Against The Spread. With that in mind there could be a nice betting opportunity here.
The Fighting Illini come into this one was a -3.5 favorite. Sagarin has Illinois -2.
Action was nearly 80% going towards the underdog Nebraska on the spread as of Friday morning but with under $100,000 wagered on the Cornhuskers thus far.
Pinnacle had the number at -3.5. BetOnline was at -3.5 much of the week but dropped this one to -3. Circa and even Bovada moved the number down to -3 to get more money on the favorite Illinois, which was only seeing 30% of the action.
As of 1 pm ET action on Nebraska was climbing over the $100,000 mark with 71% of the spread action. Nearly all books were still on the 3. Americas Bookie was sitting at 3.5.
Illinois has won the last three in this series.
