We like the Southeast Missouri State Redhawks to defeat the SIU Edwardsville Cougars on Saturday at 4:45pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

SEMO is 5-6 this season but are off back-to-back wins and are feeling great right now.

The Redhawks are 6-2 against the spread over their L8 games this year.

They are also terrific against SIUE. The Redhawks have won five games in a row against them and have covered versus the spread in six of the L7 games vs them.

SIU Edwardsville is 7-5 this season but lost it's last game.

The Cougars are just 1-7 versus the spread over their L8 games played against conference opponents (Ohio Valley.)

They are also 5-13 over their L18 games played away from home.

We're going to be backing the home side plus the extra point.
