The Flames are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Panthers are 7-20 ATS in their last 27 home games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. The over is 10-3 in Panthers last 13 home games. The underdog is 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
The Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers are getting clapped on the defensive side during this losing stretch, and they have had little to no covering success at home dating back to last year. The UIC Flames are finding ways to finish games as of late, and I’d give some benefit of the doubt that their early struggles were due to a tough schedule. UIC isn’t as bad as its record indicates. I’ll take a stab with the road dog.
