Illinois Fighting Illini vs Wisconsin Badgers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 11/22/25

We head to Camp Randall on Saturday night for a classic B1G showdown between the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Wisconsin Badgers. The Badgers are having a disastrous season at 3-7 and with only a single conference win. They are still playing with pride though, and they are making teams work to beat them. Illinois is quietly having a strong season, yet no one seems to respect what the Illini are doing. They have 3 losses, and they are losses that nearly anyone would take—Ohio State, Indiana, and at Washington. In short, they are 7-1 this season against anyone who is not in the top 2 in the nation. Illinois is good, and the Illini should cover this one, even in a tough road spot. Give me Illinois -7.5.

The problem for the Badgers is the offense. They just cannot score. They have only eclipsed 10 points one time in their past 7 games, and that was a 13-10 win against Washington. Illinois is a solid team, and way better than the level of respect they are given nationally. The Badger defense may slow them down, but how many times do you really need to score to win and cover in this spot? A simple 20-10 win is very achievable, and this Illini offense is more than capable of that. For me, this just comes down to a total lack of faith in the Wisconsin offense. Give me the Fighting Bielemas.

Illinois vs Wisconsin prediction: Illinois Fighting Illini -7.5 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
