Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Larry's Analysis:
Northwestern has lost 11 straight (2-8-1 ATS) and just put up a season-low 50 points at Rutgers. Illinois got a scare at Nebraska and should be focused here. Not only are the Wildcats struggling offensively, but they've been consistently poor on defense, allowing opponents to shoot 35.1 percent from deep and 53.4 percent inside the arc. Lay it.
