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.

Tom's Analysis:
The Illini need an impressive performance to feel better about themselves ahead of conference play, and this is a great spot to do it. FAU is without its starting QB, and backup Daniel Richardson is not the dynamic dual-threat that gives this Illini defense problems.
