Against the spread
OLD DOMINION +31.5 (-105) is worth backing catching this high amount of points.
Yes, ODU lost to Buffalo in the regular-season opener. And, yes, Arizona pounded Canisius in the opener. However, it just missed the cover against the Golden Griffins, winning by 29 points as a 34-point favorite. We should see a similar scenario play out in this one.
Over/Under
OVER 160.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
For Arizona, the Over connected in Monday’s rout of Canisius. With just 26 seconds left in the game, a Canisius layup flipped the total to an Over by just a single point.
For ODU, it smashed the Over with an 83-82 loss against Buffalo with a total of 146 points. The Wildcats should be able to flirt with triple digits against the Monarchs at McKale Center.
