One of the biggest surprises to open the CBB season has been the play of Illinois Chicago. The Flames have lived up to their name with an 8-1 record on the season, and seven straight in the win column. They are not just winning; they are playing above the line with seven straight covers as well. Eastern Michigan has been on the high road with a 6-2 mark, but a pair of wins over non-Div-1 schools taints their record. Eastern Michigan will have to do better here than the 36.5% they have shot thus far on the season, and with the Flames allowing just over 50 points per game at home, that certainly isn't likely. The Flames continue the run, so take Illinois Chicago.
