Chicago State Cougars vs IPFW Mastodons Point Spread Picks

Chicago State had high hopes coming into the season with a new coach in Landon Bussie, who brought in several talented newcomers. However, the schedule hasn't been kind to the Cougars, who have lost their first six games against some tough competition. That won't be a big problem tonight as IPFW is having similar trouble, as it has yet to beat a Division I school. The Mastodons lost five of their final six games in 2024-25 and return just one starter. They come off a 91-60 blowout by Saint Louis on Friday as the Mastodons couldn't even cover a 20-point spread while shooting 34 percent and missing 27 of 34 3s. The game went UNDER by 16 points. IPFW is 5-1 UNDER following a loss dating back to last season, and it is averaging 69.4 points per game against Division I opponents. Take Chicago State to cover, and play this game UNDER.
