Illinois vs Minnesota predictions

All three Journal Star writers predicted the Fighting Illini would win the game, but two of them expected Illinois to face a stiff challenge and win by only a field goal.

Illinois 24, Minnesota 21: The Illini will be licking their wounds from last week's big loss at Oregon, but they'll have to work here to get this win, especially considering how banged up the roster is. We know RB Kaden Feagin is out for the season, but the health of other playmakers like Pat Bryant remains questionable. Minnesota is a tough team that has won three straight. It's getting tight.
