Scouting report

No play

No recommended play — nothing here clears our bar. If forced to a side, the model leans Illinois, below our recommendation threshold.

The decider

Illinois are without Katin Houser at quarterback (out), and a quarterback change moves every number on this page. Illinois' offense meets a Maryland defense that has been generous; the edge in that matchup belongs to Maryland. Illinois score 30.3 a game and Maryland allow 33.3.

The context

Maryland have been the cleaner team with the ball, and in a close game that is usually the difference. Turnover margin: Illinois -0.1 a game, Maryland +0.4.

Situational

Illinois are missing Ca'Lil Valentine (RB); Maryland are missing Na'eem AbdulRahim Gladding (WR), DJ Samuels (RB) — worth a notch of caution.
