Premium Picks
Northern Iowa at Missouri State
The Northern Iowa Panthers look to get closer to the .500 mark as they travel to take on Missouri St. who is 14-13 on the season. Missouri St. is playing well under the line as it appears they have peaked, while the teams in their conference have improved. The Bears last covered a game back on January, 18th, and are 0-7-1 ATS in their last 8. Northern Iowa hasn't fared any better as the Panthers are on a 6 game losing streak, but did cover against the conference leader Drake on the road. Northern Iowa has shot the ball better and this game may come down to which one can avoid scoring droughts. I think that team is the Panthers. Make the play on Northern Iowa as a Max Play.
