Game Preview

Top-ranked Oregon looks to defend its No. 1 spot in a Big Ten showdown with No. 20 Illinois on Saturday afternoon in Eugene. With a 7-0 record, the Ducks have earned their first top ranking in 12 years and are one of only 10 undefeated FBS teams this season, making them a strong choice for bettors eyeing moneyline and spread options.

Oregon’s home record is dominant—35-1 in the last 36 games and 44-3 since 2017—making them a powerful force at Autzen Stadium. Head coach Dan Lanning downplays the top ranking, emphasizing that the season’s far from over. "You don’t stop halfway through a meal," Lanning quipped, keeping his team focused on their long-term goals. The Ducks come off a 35-0 shutout win over Purdue, with QB Dillon Gabriel posting a 77% completion rate, the highest in the country, a potential angle for player props and team scoring bets.

Illinois (6-1) is proving to be a surprise success this season, with key wins over Kansas, Nebraska, and Michigan. The only loss on their record came against No. 3 Penn State, but with a gritty defense and quarterback Luke Altmyer’s dual-threat ability, Illinois offers value as a potential upset pick. They forced three turnovers against Michigan and bring momentum into their first visit to Eugene since 1995.

Illinois has faced top-ranked teams 15 times, holding a 3-12 record, and coach Bret Bielema is eager for this shot at the Ducks. "It’s been a super enjoyable ride," Bielema said. For bettors, Oregon’s home advantage and scoring potential present a strong case, while Illinois’ resilience and recent success against ranked teams make them an intriguing option in what promises to be an intense, high-stakes matchup.
