Michigan vs. Illinois opening Vegas line

Michigan is a 17.5-point favorite over the visiting Illini with the over/under for total points scored at 44.5, according to the Vegas Insider consensus. The Wolverines lead the all-time series by a 71-23-2 margin and have a 5-game win streak in the series dating back to 2010.

U-M has played Illinois twice under Jim Harbaugh with a 41-8 win during the 2016 season and a 42-25 victory on the road in 2018. This will be the first time Harbaugh and Illinois coach Bret Bielema face off in a college football game.

Illinois, who sits at 7-3, was once the favorite to win the Big Ten West before dropping the last two games on their schedule to Michigan State and Purdue. U-M is 10-0 for the first time since the 2006 season and will look to stay unblemished heading into the Week 13 game against Ohio State.

Michigan and Illinois will kick off at noon on ABC.
