The NFL regular season and college football bowls may be over, but that doesn't mean Monday night football action is as well.
Illinois State and Montana State face off tonight in the 2026 college football FCS National Championship Game (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN) in Nashville, Tenn.
College football odds show a surprisingly large spread for a title game — Montana State -10, to be exact — and an over/under of 57.5 as well.
Because this is a nationally-televised, standalone football game in primetime, don't be surprised to see casual bettors getting down on Illinois vs. Montana State, but the wiseguys, as usual, have already made their move.
Here it is.
