Southern Illinois at Northern Iowa

Southern Illinois won 22 games a year ago and at 12-6 on the season they look like a 20 win team once again. They have ridden under the radar all season as they are 11-5 ATS. Northern Iowa built a strong reputation when they reeled off eight of nine seasons with 20 or more wins, but since that point this program has not been nearly as strong. The Pnthers have had five of their last seven seasons finishing at .500 or below, and at 10-8 so far on the season, they are within that thereshhold once again. They have played well in terms of winning recently, but they have been in a soft spot in the schedule. I think Southern Illinois is a live dog in this one. Make the play on Southern Illinois.
