against the spread
Drake is the most complete team here. Look for a significant advantage in the perimeter shooting department. No. 1 meeting and trade-off games for each side, since let’s say Drake for 5 to 7 is likely enough to warrant a BULLDOGS -3.5 (-105) play.
Below
The Over is 5-0 in the Bulldogs last 5 games following an ATS loss. He is 6-0 in the Racers’ last 6 games against .600 ball foes.
Drake has picked up his pace in recent games, and in meeting the No. 1 he topped a total of 135.5 with ease. Consider a game of partial unity in the OVER 140.5 (-105).
