Meanwhile, the Titans are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 after an ATS win and 5-1 ATS in their last six Friday games. Detroit is 4-1 ATS in their last five overall.
PICK: I’m going to take a stab on Detroit here. The Titans have scored pretty well lately—when they’ve been able to get on the court, that is—with 71 or more points in five of their last six games. Detroit should have plenty of firepower to go up against Youngstown State. The Penguins have been at 66 points or fewer in three of their last five games and have been winning with defense lately. This one should be an interesting matchup, and I like Detroit to push their way toward a cover/win.
