I'll take the points.  Looks like a good year for betting dogs.

Yeah good to see you found your way here! Looks like it opened with the Illini as 23.5 point dogs. I really hope the team takes another step forward this year.

Oddsmakers appear to be dismissing our returning offensive linemen.

Anyone have insight as to why Friday's game is "off" the board?

I'm guessing Covid.
If it helps, the game isn't listed in Friday's odds in the local fishwrap.
RIP Sid.

Thanks for the info.  All the papers I looked at didn't even list the game; just like ST.  I, of course, don't frequent on-line betting sites. ;)

Spread has come down several points from opening. Really thought it was high at first and apparently many others agree...but usually any time I see odds that seem like a sure fire pick the oddsmakers end up being correct.

Wisco qb Coan is out, as they say, with a foot. Wisco doesn't appear to have their rb heir apparent. It may take a couple of games to work out the kinks.
Before seeing anything, I'm thinking our d may be an adequate bend but dont break too often, but the offense may have to be geared around Peters and the receiving corps.
Good thing I proof read the last line. It started as "feared around Peters", lol.
I'm not sure we have a go to rb, unless Epstein is 100% and stays healthy, and an OL that may run block better than pass block might keep Rod Smith scratching his head.
Nonetheless .....

Fortunately, I had left bread crumbs the last time I stopped by.

That's a lot of points. New starting QB for Wisconsin. There won't be any fans in the stands at Camp Randall, which will make a huge difference. Usually the packed stands & boisterous atmosphere deliver a home field advantage for the Badgers. First game after an unusually long layoff and truncated off-season practice period, so who knows how either team will play.

With an experienced & solid OL returning, Illinois should be better on offense this year. QB Peters should be much improved as a passer this season with a year in the system (and additional WRs/TEs to target). However, those items alone won't translate into a better record (winning %) compared with 2019, as there are no cupcakes non-conference games on the schedule. Well, Rutgers might qualify but it's a road game. The defense needs to be as opportunistic in takeaways as it was in 2019. That would really help.

I do expect the offense to be solid.

I don’t think the D can be put in a position to be on the field for long stretches so we are going to need to control time of possession.

Would feel a lot better about that if Dre Brown had returned.  Peters has to stay healthy. Epstein who knows? And ugh the poor guy has that unfortunate surname. It’s like anyone that incidentally had the name Sandusky. Cant go back to the way things were.

I expect this game to be a big steaming pile of bad football from both teams

I'd feel a lot better if Dr. Dre was coaching the Badger and got them all really stoned before the game and at half time.

A healthy Dre Brown returning this season could have been huge for the offense, especially with the returning OL and an experienced QB. But I can't fault him for moving on, especially after losing 2 seasons to knee injuries. Hopefully Epstein is fully recovered from his injury. 

As for the Illinois defense, well, did I mention the offense should be pretty good this year?
