Wright State at IUPUI picks and predictions
Prediction
Wright State 74, IUPUI 56
Moneyline
PASS.
Look to the spread for value here.
Against the spread
BET WRIGHT STATE -14.5 (-115).
IUPUI is 2-2 at home this season, but those were games that didn’t feature a spread and weren’t against Division 1 opponents. They are just 1-1 ATS at home in games that featured a spread.
The Jags don’t just struggle to score but struggle to stop their opponent, ranking 318th in opponents’ field goal percentage (45.8%). Wright State should abuse that weakness. The Raiders are 2-2 ATS in their last 4 games with a spread and are 3-2 ATS on the road this season.
Considering their strength on the road mixed with their offensive efficiency, back WRIGHT STATE -14.5 (-115).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 137.5 (-110).
Neither team has consistently covered the Over this season. Wright State is 5-6-1 O/U while IUPUI is 5-7 O/U. The Under is 5-4 in the Raiders last 9 games with a total. while it is 2-0 in IUPUI’s last 2 games.
With IUPUI having one of the worst offenses in the nation, ranking 357th in 3-point field goal percentage (27.1%), points may difficult to come by in this game.
With those in mind, for a smaller unit, play the UNDER 137.5 (-110).
