20-14 ATS so far this year. Opening lines given. Home team in CAPS.
Wichita State (-7) @ EVANSVILLE
The Aces have been good at home in conference going 5-2 ATS. They are 5-5-1 ATS as a conference dog. Those are decent numbers, but the Shockers are in the automatic play spot that has been good to us. They are 7-0 ATS on the road in conference! Amazing. They are on a 5-1 ATS run in their last 6, and they are 11-4 ATS in conference play thus far, all as favorites. Wichita is a horrible match-up for the Aces. Evansville has more than held their own at home but it hard to see them keeping this close. PREDICTION: Wichita State 79-67
MISSOURI STATE (-14) vs. Drake
Drake is on a nice little 5-1 ATS run in their last 6, all in the underdog role. Their overall numbers aren't great but that recent run is enough to play them against the Bears who have yet to cover a conference home game going 0-5-2 in that role. They are only 3-8-2 ATS in all home games this year. As we have to automatically play Wichita on the road, we have to continue going against the Beras at home until shown otherwise. Drake to hang in. PREDICTION: Missouri State 77-69
Northern Iowa (-4) @ BRADLEY
A tough season for Bradley has turned into a nice money run with them going 4-0 ATS in their last 4, including covering their last 2 home games. Northern on the other hand is going the other way on the money train. They are 0-4 ATS in their last 4. Even before the O'Rear injury, the road was not kind to the Panthers. They are only
2-5 ATS in conference road games, and a poor 3-9 ATS as a conference favorite. Bradley in a mild upset.
PREDICTION: Bradley 65-62.
