Southern Illinois moneyline
Consider SIU moneyline near -140; pass at a materially shorter price because early-season form and road uncertainty make a large premium less appealing.
Under 146.5 points
Lean under 146.5; pass below 144.5 and keep the stake conservative while rotations are being established.
