Michigan vs. Illinois prediction, picks, odds

Tony Garcia, Detroit Free Press: On paper, the matchup is interesting. Illinois can throw the ball and can’t run it, while U-M gives up the pass and stifles the run. On the other side, Michigan can run the ball and can’t throw it, while the Illini have been gashed on the ground this year but have proven to be solid against the pass. U-M had a chance to rest last week and re-focus its energy as it gears up for the stretch run. One more loss, and a fourth consecutive trip to the College Football Playoff is likely out of the question. Michigan is a desperate team and there’s no way to fake that; but there’s also no faking what this game means to the Illini. For a mediocre program, on an anniversary weekend, to have a chance to slay the reigning champs and make a statement on national TV? Tuttle will help U-M play complementary football, but the moment means more to Illinois. The pick: Illinois 23, Michigan 20.

• Spread: Michigan by 3½.
• Over/under total: 44½.
• Moneyline: Michigan -175, Illinois +145.
