Staff Prediction

Chicago State comes into this game really struggling, losing 8 of their last 9 games. Southern Illinois is having a solid year at 7-3 and have won their last 2 games. However, the Salukis are only 3-6-1 against the spread, while Chicago State is 7-5 against the spread. Southern Illinois is the far better team at home, but their struggles against the spread concern me. 15.5 is a lot of points to cover, so take Chicago State to cover the 15.5 points.

Staff Pick CHST ATS (+15.5)
