Illinois-Chicago Flames at Loyola-Chicago Ramblers Prediction

In rivalry games, statistics and analytics can be tossed outside the window. You can be rest assured here that the Flames are sick and tired of being picked on by the Ramblers. Situationally, UIC enters into this contest in the perfect spot to catch LIL off-guard. After all, the start to the Flames’ season has been disastrous. The Flames have lost their previous three contests overall and have done so by double-digit margins in all three defeats. These three losses came at Troy, at Kentucky, and against Fort Wayne; all quality teams. The Ramblers rambled to 7-0 to start off the 2017 campaign before suffering its first defeat which was a ghastly one, at Boise State on Tuesday. However, there is more to the story here than meets the eye.

According to KenPom, the Ramblers’ own the 302nd ranked strength of schedule whilst UIC’s SOS sits at 202nd. There is a stark difference in quality of competition but it doesn’t end there. The Ramblers are also the 10th luckiest team in the land whilst playing this schedule. Very simply, the Ramblers have been the benefactors of a padded schedule combined with everything going right. Such an attractive record should be expected. Contrarily, Illinois-Chicago sits at 313th in the luck department which means this team is due for a few bounces. Perhaps, this contest may be the scenario where this all levels out as rivalry games are known culprits of bringing forth such events. We would be inclined to even suggest taking UIC as an outright on the Money Line in this one. However, given the fact there are so many points on the table, it would be rude of us not take them.
