Wright State vs. Northern Illinois

Take Northern Illinois Huskies

Wright State is coming off a big home conference win over Detroit last Wednesday, but the Raiders might letdown a bit as they are a weak 0-3 SU on the road this season. Northern Illinois is also coming off a big conference win as an 8-point underdog at Toledo, but this win should serve as momentum and the Huskies now qualify in a strong 93-47 ATS situation which plays on early season home favorites in this price range that are off a SU dog win.

Both teams have allowed 45% FG defense this season, but Northern Illinois holds a substantial edge on offense as the Huskies shoot 49% FG, while Wright State averages a weak 38% FG.

Northern Illinois is one of most improved teams in the MAC this season and remains underrated. This is also a revenge game for Northern Illinois as they lost 66-72 at Wright State last February.


Dave Price's Free Pick

Sacramento vs. Minnesota

Take Sacramento Kings

1 unit on Sacramento +4

The T-Wolves lost a tough one to Philly last night in OT and will struggle to get their legs back under them tonight. I like a fresh Sacramento Sacramento team who will be gunning for their third straight victory. Take the points!
