Northern Iowa vs Loyola Chicago Prediction
Loyola Chicago is probably a better team than what it’s shown up to this point, but five straight losses and 0-6 ATS on the season, it’s hard to back the Ramblers confidently. We’ve seen Loyola Chicago lose to Mercyhurst as a 22-point favorite and just lose to NIU as a 14-point favorite. Not sure what’s going on with Loyola Chicago, but I want nothing to do with it. Northern Iowa is off to a strong start defensively, and I’ll lay the chalk in this spot as a fade of the Ramblers.
