Predictions and Betting Preview for the Illinois Fighting vs Wyoming Cowboys College Football Game on August 27 2022
- Where: Memorial Stadium, Champaign, Illinois
- When: Saturday, August 27, 2022, 4:00 PM ET
Betting on the Illinois Fighting
- Regular Season Record: 0-0
- Spread: -11
- Moneyline: -450
- Over/Under: 43.5
The Illinois Fighting will try to put last season behind them, so they can focus and perform better this season. They had problems with the offense last season and failed to register many points, but with the moves made in the team this year, this line is expected to be stronger.
Illinois quarterback, Barry Lunney Jr., could opt to rely on the ground game to take advantage of his opponent’s weaknesses and be able to take an early lead in the points to try to get a first victory.
Betting on the Wyoming Cowboys
- Regular Season Record: 0-0
- Spread: +11
- Moneyline: +325
- Over/Under: 43.5
The Wyoming Cowboys suffered important losses prior to this season, the most sensitive ones being on offense, with the departure of receiver Isaiah Neyor and running back Xazavian Valladay, among others. That makes us think that it will not be a strong team this season until it manages to adapt to the new elements.
Wyoming’s proposal for this game could be an approach focused on strengthening the defensive line, considering that the offense will be weakened. With a good job by the secondary, it would be possible to prevent the opponents from scoring, and the main task will be to get the ball from the first opportunity they have and to know how to manage the tempo.
JefeBet Prediction
Illinois will face this first game on their home field, which could be a point in their favor, coupled with the fact that their opponent will not have a frightening offense.
Prediction: Illinois Fighting wins.
