Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Matt's Analysis:
Top Minnesota back Darius Taylor will sit but so will the Illini's Reggie Love. Really just a home play. First one to 10 might win.

Kenny's Analysis:
I'm shocked at this line coming down. Why??? Minnesota is 3-2 in the Big Ten tied for 1st place and 5-3 overall, one more win for bowl eligibility. Illinois has played hard the past couple of weeks however this team is nowhere near as good as they were last year. The Illini is 1-4 in conference and 1-7 ATS is year. QB Luke Altmyer has 10 TD passes to nine interceptions. I have their offense ranked 82nd and their defense 49th. I have Minnesota's offense #64th and their defense 32nd. A big reason both teams are 5-3 to the under. Minnesota by a touchdown, they're never easy but the Golden Gophers get there at home.
