This article is part of our College Football DFS: Friday Slate series.
Friday's slate of college football games varies a bit on DraftKings and FanDuel, but we'll cover both the core games and the outliers unique to both sites.

Illinois @ Wisconsin (-19.5) O/U: 51.5 (FANDUEL ONLY)

It's also compromised historical data as well.
