Illinois/Iowa locals... N. Iowa @ S. Illinois

joepro · Feb 23, 2005

I love SIU, but I'm not so sure about this one. Would love to hear any opinions on this game. I'm leaning towards the N. Iowa w/ the points here. I'm calculating SIU -3 here.

Thought???

SIU is one of the best Home teams in the country, i have em on the ML myself...

Line seems pretty accurate to me. I look for a win by SIU, but 6 sounds about right.

Illini · Feb 23, 2005

SIU is definitely the better team, and they are playing at home. So -3 would be way off.

I hope you're right Illini. I just can't come up w/ -6.5 in my calculations.
Any thoughts on the Illini/NW game?

You hope I'm right? Does that mean you bet SIU ML? They should win, but the ML price is too high for me. UNI is not that good, trust me. Good squad in a good conference, no doubt. But SIU is the better team, and I think they are very good. As far as the Illini game, I would not take NW, but I'm laying off. The Illini can taste their undefeated regular season now, and they will be pumped. 20 points, or whatever the line is now, is not near enough to be betting NW in this spot. But it's a no play, in my book. I do, however like Bradley a lot tonight. You could get 2 if you've got Skybook for the free half point.
