Illinois State at Drake

Drake went 10 seasons without winning 20 or more games, but has done so in each of the last five seasons, and is 23-6 entering tonight's game at home vs 10-19 Illinois St. Drake brings a nine-game winning streak into the contest and Illinois St. appears to be little threat as the Redbirds have lost five straight, and failing to cover any of them. This is however, about the time the odds makers ask too much on the chalky favorite, vs. the woeful dog. A team on a five-game losing streak or more, and facing an opponent that has won four-plus games is 76-53-2 ATS. Looks like Drake could be a no-show in what looks like an easy win.
