Winthrop is 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games while the over is 6-0 in their last 6 games following a loss. Vanderbilt is 10-3-4 ATS in their last 17 games overall and 7-0-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
I get the case that could be made for Vandy at home, but I’m not on that team as I just could do nothing but shake my head after the Commodores failed to get out of bed last time out against VCU. Winthrop has played some tough customers early on and they’ve found a way to get a job done more often than not. Give me the Eagles here.
