Evansville Purple Aces at Northern Iowa Panthers Betting Prediction

As we have said before, situational betting is a big part of our strategy. Therefore, fading a steam move in a rising Total can be prosperous when the conditions are right. This contest seems optimal given the fact that we are seeing the number continue to go up despite Evansville, in particular, being involved in affairs where the Under has been the right choice as of recent. Three out of the last four games Evansville has played in resulted in the Under cashing the ticket. The rub of UNDERS can be chalked up primarily to the Purple Aces having great difficulties in the shooting department. Evansville won't find any refuge here as they are going against an outfit in a hostile environment that owns advantages in the rebounding, defense, and turnovers department. Therefore, we ride the current trend and back the Under.
