Illinois State vs. Missouri State

The Missouri State Bears always seem to have enough talent around to not slip too far. They have had a respectable 19-11 regular season, and have beaten Texas A&M, and Tulsa, as well as coming very close to handing Wichita State a defeat, as they lost a heartbreaker in overtime by 3 points. Illinois State did most of their heavy lifting during a 10-3 run through 13 games, but have otherwise not been a very effective team, as they are just 6-11 in their other 17 games. The Redbirds' inconsistency has left them high and dry after an ATS win as they have followed by going 3-11 ATS in their last 14 after a winner. The Bears have definitely been on the prowl after a loss by 20+ points, coming back in resounding fashion at 8-0-1 ATS in their last nine. Missouri State is more consistent, easier to trust here, and is just playing better. Make the play on Missouri State.
