Green Bay has struggled on both ends of the court this season as the Phoenix come into this game ranked just t-326^th in scoring offense, 288^th in FG%, & 307^th in defensive FG%. Wright State has been led by their offense which ranks 143^rd in scoring offense, however, the Raiders have really struggled defensively as they come into this game ranked just 315^th in scoring defense & t-286^th in defensive FG%.

Wright State had a rough star to their season, however, the Raiders have started to look more like the team we expected as of late which included an impressive 84-70 victory on the road at NC State. Green Bay has had success ATS recently in this matchup, however, Green Bay is 0-5 on the road this season and as their offense can really struggle at times to put up points, I think Wright State wins this one by around 15 and cover this spread. Good Luck!
