The under is 4-1 in Panthers last 5 road games. The over is 11-4 in Raiders last 15 overall. The road team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Neither of these teams have had covering success this season, so I’m a little iffy on both sides. With that said, the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers can’t score the basketball, and that likely doesn’t change on the road. The Wright State Raiders entered the break playing their best ball of the season, which includes a road win over NC State. Wright State is in good form. I’ll lay the chalk.
