UIC vs Chicago State Prediction

We haven’t seen Chicago State in a reasonable spot yet, as it was supposed to lose ugly against DePaul, Saint Louis and Butler. We’ll learn more about Chicago State in this spot. With that said, Chicago State hasn’t shown us any reason to get behind it. UIC has played well through three games, comfortably beating a Detroit team it should beat, and giving Oregon State a run as an underdog. If the form stays true, UIC should cruise in this spot as well. I’ll lay the points with UIC on the road.

Randy Chambers's Pick: UIC -10.5
