Iowa Football at Illinois: How to Watch, Listen + Updated Betting Line, Weather and More

With the cancellation of the Northwestern-Minnesota tilt today, Iowa was officially eliminated from contention for the Big Ten West crown. But that doesn’t mean the Hawkeyes don’t have anything left to play for. Iowa travels to Champaign today to take on the Illinois Fighting Illini. Both teams are riding hot streaks with the Hawkeyes winning their last four and Illinois winning two in a row before their matchup with Ohio State was cancelled a week ago.

But it’s Iowa who is currently riding a 6-game winning streak over Illinois in the series. The Hawkeyes will look to make that 7 in a row today as they hope to correct inconsistencies at the quarterback position and lean into a strong running game and top notch defense. Illinois will be looking for a similar recipe as they hope to get their first win over Iowa since 2008.
