The Phoenix are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games, however, are just 2-4 ATS in their last 6 game vs. Cleveland State. The Vikings are 1-5 ATS in their 6 games & 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Cleveland State has not been great ATS as of late, however, I think this a great spot for the Vikings despite being double-digit favorites. Green Bay is 0-8 on the road this season and no longer has their leading scorer on a team that already has struggled to score the basketball as they rank just 338^th in scoring offense & 291^st in FG%. Cleveland State is a solid offensive team that has been good at home this season and as I think they have no trouble dominating Green Bay on all aspects of the game in this one, I’m taking Cleveland State to cover this large home spread. Good Luck!
