UTSA vs. Illinois Pick Prediction 9/4/2021 by Tony T.
UTSA vs. Illinois—College football pick is Illinois Fighting Illini -4.5. Illinois got off to a win in 2021 with their 30-22 victory at home to Nebraska. Fighting Illini defense registered five sacks. Brandon Peters at quarterback was injured early in the game so backup Artur Sitkowski stepped in and threw for two touchdowns hitting on 12 of 15. He has starting experience serving as a starter with Rutgers. They have a game under their belt an UTSA debuts. UTSA a seven win team that piled up wins against the down teams in Conference USA and struggled stepping up in class. They faced no power five schools in 2020. Illinois size and strength the difference here. Coach Bret Bielema likes to grind and pound. Facing a mid-major here at home look for that strategy to work. Play Illinois -4.5.
