I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams that have issues winning and covering numbers. However, the Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix look like a team that’s given up on the season, and that includes losing their last five games by an average of 13.4 points. Green Bay is waiting for this season to end. I’ll lay the chalk with UIC.
