The Detroit Mercy Titans are playing their best ball of the season right now, and they’ve quietly had some recent covering success. The Green Bay Phoenix have been a mess on both ends of the floor this season, and they don’t cover numbers despite being underdogs most nights. I don’t trust Detroit on the road, mainly due to its lack of defense, but it beats the alternative here. Give me the Titans and the chalk.
