High Point is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS win while the over is 9-2 in their last 11 home games.
Pick
I’m leaning towards High Point here. Winthrop’s had a lot of the recent dominance head-to-head between these two teams, but it’s also worth noting that this isn’t the same Winthrop teams from past years and the Eagles have really had some struggles on the road this season. High Point’s been serviceable at home and I’d simply need more points if I were to back the Eagles here. Give me High Point laying the bucket.
