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.

Grace's Analysis:
Models project Illinois by 3, or a virtual coin flip on a neutral site. Northwestern hasn't been great at moving the ball, but it does finish drives, averaging 4.4 points per scoring opportunity. QB Ben Bryant has looked good the last two games, averaging 7.5 yards/attempt vs. Wisconsin and 9.2 yards/attempt vs. Purdue. Now he faces a worse Illinois secondary that ranks #104 in success rate and #106 in EPA/play.
