I was doing a little research on this game and noticed that these two teams only played once this year and N Illinois won. I also noticed that N Illinois has won four straight games. Obviously Akron has the better record but with a key player out for Akron and N illinois playing their best ball of the year, I really like their chances here. Anyone follow these teams closely that could add some more insight, it would be greatly appreciated. But as of right now I'm definately leaning N Illinois plus 6.5 and may sprinkle a little on the money line.
Alright, I've had enough of this bullshit. Yesterday, Clutch hit Memphis, OK. I pointed out that Memphis was w/o a key player, and look at what happened. Tonight, Akron still w/o their best two players and lost a bench guard over the weekend. NOW, I'm pretty damn good at math, but you lose over 22 ppg scoring and you don't score that much to begin with, I think you have a problem. JMHO, but it is what it is. I'm done overthinking these things and following this guy and that, it cost me a small fortune this past weekend. I pointed out months ago that when teams lose key players, bad things happen for them. So let's see what happens, but I like NIU tonight. GLTA

I think the public may be thinking that Akron is okay without those players because they beat Kent when we expected them to lose. Hopefully they are overvalued tonight and I win this one. Plus it's March madness time so it's time for some close buzzer beaters. Lol. Good luck. If I'm wrong it won't be the first time and it sure as hell won't be the last.
