Trends

Binghamton is 0-6 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games while the over is 5-0-1 in their last 6 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. Both of these teams have some defensive issues, with UMBC allowing totals in the mid-70s at least more often than not on the road, while Binghamton has been giving it up left and right themselves as of late. Higher total than I’m used to for these teams, but I still like the over here.
