Trends
IUPUI is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win and 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 road games against a team with a winning home record while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall. PFW is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games following an ATS loss.
Pick
I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m leaning towards IUPUI and the points. The Jaguars are terrible, but even I don’t trust the Mastodons to be able to blow out IUPUI here. PFW has been a sizeable favorite twice this calendar year and has failed to cover in both games, including the first meeting between these two teams where the Mastodons were 15.5-point favorites and won by 15. I’ll take a shot that IUPUI keeps it close again with the points here.
