Pick

I’m sticking with Duquesne here. Loyola-Chicago’s really struggled on the road this season, going 0-5 ATS on the road and while Duquesne’s not the top team in the A-10, they’re still really good and the Ramblers just aren’t the same team we’ve gotten used to backing in recent years. The Ramblers have just stunk up the joint on the road and I’m expecting more of the same here. Give me the Dukes laying the points.
