Evansville Purple Aces at Missouri State Bears Game Pick
Situational betting is a big part of our strategy. Therefore, fading a steam move particularly against an ascending Total can be quite profitable when the conditions are right. Missouri State owns the more physical unit in the rebounding department, turnovers, and bench. When it comes to defense well, Evansville averages just .1 fewer points per game compared to the counterparts. However, home court advantage resting with the Bears will allow Missouri State to dictate the ebb and flow of the game. Evansville has won just two games this year on the road and chances are the field goal percentage advantage that the Purple Aces own will be nullified here. What this sets up is a scenario where the Total is likely an overlay, and we will step in promptly and target a likely inflated number. We will go forth and ride the current trend in this conference series and back the Under.
