While the Belmont Bruins are not quite on the same level as they have been the past couple years, they have still reached 20 wins this season. They have been an up-and-down team, and seem to play to the level of their competition. While they own a marquee win over North Carolina on the road, they have not been the same team in games they should win big, as they have been 0-3 ATS when giving 14 or more points on the season. Their last game was a prime example of that as they needed to come from behind to steal a 2-point win as a -15.5 point favorite at home. Eastern Illinois is just another bad team that has lost three straight games. They likely won't get The Bruins' attention, but the Panthers have improved from a team that was 1-12 ATS in their first 13 lined games to one that is now 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11. Belmont is just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 at home, and have been over-valued all season here. Take the points on Eastern Illinois.
