Indiana State vs UIC Prediction
Indiana State has the offense to hang around, but it’s had issues on the road this season and is coming off a shaky showing against Drake at home. UIC is on a heater, producing a 6-0 SU and ATS record in its last six games, and that includes big road upsets over Bradley, Northern Iowa, and Illinois State. That UIC defense has been locked in all month and this just isn’t a run I’m looking to step in front of if we’re being honest. UIC should have the rest of the MVC’s attention at this point. Give me the Flames and the chalk on Tuesday night.
