Rutgers vs. Illinois Prediction (AI)

Remi, our AI sports genius, has been pouring over exorbitant amounts of data from every past game between the Scarlet Knights and Fighting Illini and using recursive machine learning and cutting-edge AI to boil down the data to a single cover probability.
Oddly enough, we’ve seen the AI has been most keyed in on the growing factor knucklehead sportsbettors often put on coaching factors between a Scarlet Knights team going up against a possibly healthy Fighting Illini team. We’ve found the true game analytics appear to reflect a slight lean against one Vegas line specifically.
