Richmond vs. Southern Illinois Prediction: Pass on the Road Favorite
Analysis updated November 12, 2026 at 1:52 AM CST
The unbeaten Spiders are the likely winner, while Jalen Haynes' recent scoring gives Southern Illinois a reason to resist at home.
Richmond's fast start makes it the favorite
Richmond enters Carbondale 3-0 after a 79-53 road win at Temple. Southern Illinois University Athletics reports that Dominick Stewart leads the Spiders with 17.0 points per game. Those results support Richmond as the likely winner and match its status as a 3.5-point favorite.
Southern Illinois lost 100-93 at Kansas City despite 32 points from Jalen Haynes. Jeremiah Jackson also averaged 14 points and made 6 of 11 three-pointers through two starts. That scoring gives the Salukis a path to stay close, but two games provide too little evidence to justify taking them at +3.5.
The price calls for a pass
Richmond costs -162 on the moneyline, while Southern Illinois is +136. No current injury, availability or confirmed starting-lineup information was reported, so the Spiders' road price asks bettors to accept more uncertainty than the available matchup details can resolve. Pass on both sides.
The total is 154.5, with the over at -108 and the under at -112. Southern Illinois has followed an 82-40 win over Maryville with a 100-93 loss at Kansas City, but those scores don't establish how this matchup will be played. There isn't enough evidence for a total wager.
