Illinois vs Washington Pick & Prediction - 10/25/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
The Illinois Fighting Illini will travel to Seattle to face the Washington Huskies on Saturday at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium. Both teams enter this matchup with identical 5-2 records and 2-2 conference records. But only one of them will improve to 3-2 in the Big Ten with a win here. This game marks the first-ever Big Ten matchup between the two programs at Husky Stadium, and you can find my Illinois vs Washington prediction for this game below.
Score Projection: Illinois 30 – Washington 28
Win Probability: Illinois 55%, Washington 45%
While Washington enters as the favorite, Illinois' balanced offense and strong quarterback play give them the edge in this matchup. As long as the weather doesn't completely derail Altmyer and the Illini passing attack, they should hang in this game throughout. I'll take the points with the Fighting Illini in what should be one of the more interesting game in the Big Ten during this weekend's college football schedule.
