Why should we not unload on Northern Iowa +7.5-01/23?
This should be a close game! NIU beat SIU by 5 @ NIU earlier this season... Northern won on the road against Missouri State last week and they were dogged by 9 in that one... They just beat Indiana State by 10 on Saturday... ISU has been a pretty strong team this year even though most of their wins have come @ home... I see a really close game between these two teams and I can even see Northern winning this game! Anyone else really liking this play?
Also, I really like Indiana +2.5 tomorrow... Illinois is strictly favored due to homecourt here... I know Illinois played Wisconsin real tough on Saturday, but Indiana has been playing solid ball as of late and just got into the top 25... I believe they will continue to soar in the ranks as the year continues! I believe Indiana wins this game outright...
I like this teaser a lot- NIU +12.5 Indiana +7.5
Would love to hear your thoughts on these two games!

I too like N.Iowa, in fact that is really the only game I like on the board so far for Tuesday. I think 12.5 should be enough to get a cover, 7.5 might be as well.
Indiana, I'm not sold on. 7.5 might make it close, but Illinois has owned them at home through the years mostly and Indiana's win against UConn I think is over valuing them. Anyon who watched UConn on Monday knows that team blows and the IU win wasn't as "big" as the experts made it out to be.
I like Northern Iowa and will put up my analysis later, as that was going to be my CBB game anyway.
I do NOT like Indiana as that line looks very lght to me. Yes I am aware of how these teams have played this year, but I think that has actally served to give Illinois some excellent line value at home at this price.
Easy win here tonight!
Wish I would have hammered it harder than 2 units, but I got to thinkin that SIU is pretty solid @ home... Still puzzled as to why the line was so high? I think all of us saw a close game coming as it was for first place like you said Dan... Oh well, WE WIN, THEY LOSE!
