The Illinois Chicago Flames had a few moments in the sun. Several years ago, as they made a nice NCAA Tournament run, but getting back to that level has been burdensome. The Flames aren't going to be there this year either, and at 3-4 they have suffered losses of 20, 35, and 25 points to the likes of Louisiana Tech, Northwestern, and Eastern Illinois - certainly not power teams. SMU is 7-2 and owns wins vs. TCU and Texas A&M and certainly has the talent to pin another big loss on the Flames. The Mustangs show up to take down a losing team where they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven. The Flames have become easy prey at home where they are 0-4 ATS in their last four. Go with SMU.
