UC-Riverside is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win while the over is 11-1 in their last 12 games overall. Wright State is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 9-4 in their last 13 Tuesday games.
I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m looking at Wright State in this one. I will give UC-Riverside props for the schedule they’ve played to this point, but Wright State has just performed better up to this point and side-by-side, I just feel like the Raiders are the better and more efficient team on offense. Not a game I’m rushing to bet, but I’d lean Wright State here.
