SIU Edwardsville Cougars (ATS) ..

Tennessee Martin may have beaten SIUE back in January. However, I don't believe that that Skyhawks will be able to repeat that feat here agains them on the road. UT Martin doesn't do well on the road. As a matter of fact, the Skyhawks have lost 78.6% of their games played in opponents territory. This is a game where turnovers could kill them against a very solid defense.

Talking about that, compared to Ohio Valley Conference teams, SIU Edwardsville's defense is top tier. The Cougars are only a half game back of the lead in the conference and winning this game would go a very long way considering that there are only five games left in the season after this one for them. Expect the Cougs to pull away and win by double digits in the end.

Score Prediction: 77-64 SIUE.
