Point Spread: 11.00 | -107.00 Illinois-Chicago (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* BIG MONDAY BLOWOUT on Illinois Chicago.

UIC is just 3-9, while Northwestern is 7-4. For a number of different reasons though (mainly based on strong trends), I think the Flames will keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. This is a "revenge" game as well for UIC as NU would roll to a 93-58 beatdown last year. One player to keep your eyes on today is UIC's Jay Harris, who was named the Horizon League player of the week after scoring a career-high 32 points vs. UCF on December 11th. Northwestern is coming off a hard-fought 67-61 win over Western Michigan with Tre Demps leading the way with 17 points. Suffice it to say, I think this sets up as a natuarl letdown/lookahead spot for Northwestern. And note, from a trend based stand point, this is about as strong as you could possibly ask for as Illinois Chicago is 6-4 ATS in its last ten as a road underdog in the 9.5 to 12 points range, while Northwestern is just 2-3 ATS at home this year and only 14-23 ATS in the same position over the last two. After taking all of the above factors into consideration, in my opinion all signs do indeed point to UIC as the sharp move here.
