Northern Illinois at Illinois Chicago

Illinois, Chicago had their moment in the NCAA Tournament a few years back and have been trying to climb back up the mountain in the Horizon Conference. That climb may have to wait at least another year as the Flames are just 2-5 on the season and have a very ugly blemish against Quincy at home, a 4-point loss, and one of their two wins vs. Roosevelt. Northern Illinois is 0-7 and is still looking for their first win of the season, but has certainly faced a much tougher schedule of opponents. They are also getting a bump in the line as they are winless on the season. The Flames have certainly lacked what it takes when taking on MAC opponents where they have failed to cover in each of their last seven, while the Huskies despite of the win/loss record carry a 14-6 ATS mark into this one as a road dog in their last 20.
