Against the spread
CSU is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games against IUPUI.
The Vikings have expected edges in the turnover and rebound battles. The 1st meeting was for real, but the Vikings are giving up a lot here. Consider a partial-unit play on CLEVELAND STATE -17.5 (-115) on the current number.
Over/Under
The Over has hit in back-to-back CSU games and in 4 straight IUPUI contests. The Over is 6-1 in the Jaguars’ last 7 road games against opponents with a winning home record (CSU is 6-2 at home). The Over is 4-1 in the Vikings’ last 5 games against under-.500 teams.
CSU plays at a slow pace but is efficient. A youthful Jaguars team is really scuffling in the defensive end, and there is some expected distance-shooting regression (of the positive variety) that will help both offenses.
TAKE THE OVER 135.5 (-115).
