Illinois State at Utah

The Redbirds have taken a hit in their last two after winning their first seven. This is a good team with a stat-filling star in Osiris Eldridge who is capable of carrying a team, but he has support that goes eight deep on this team. The evidence is mounting that the Utes aren't up to the caliber of club we have seen in the recent past as losses to Weber State, Seattle and Idaho have exposed. The Utes’ top two scorers are killing them with shooting in the 30's and long-range misfires at 30% each. The Utes consequently, are overrated and are turning in the doughnut in their last four as a chalk of 6.5 or less. The Redbirds are cashing in 13 of their last 19 as a road dog and are a live dog here. I'll go with Illinois State.
