The oddsmaker has the wrong favorite here. Illinois-Chicago should not be a conference road favorite. The Flames have won only once in eight away contests this season.

Youngstown State's record is somewhat misleading when you consider it played the 66th most-difficult non-league schedule. The Penguins' non-conference schedule was muich more difficult than the Flames. That should pay off here.

The Penguins also have covered in their last six Horizon League games.
