The college basketball schedule on Wednesday night starts at 5 p.m. ET with a Patriot League battle between the American Eagles (8-9, 2-4) and the Boston University Terriers (9-10, 2-4). This game was originally scheduled for Monday, but the winter weather delayed it a couple of days. The line has already seen a lot of movement with the latest odds of the United States and Boston University listing the Terriers as two-point favorites after the Eagles opened -1. The bottom margin for the total points has remained at 139. Both teams have had a slow start and desperately need a conference win. And before making sure of the selections of American vs. Boston University, be sure to review the college basketball predictions of the SportsLine tested computer model.
The model, which simulates each game 10,000 times, has made gains for those who follow their selections. In the last two years, the SportsLine projection model has returned more than $ 5,200 to $ 100 players in its best college basketball elections. Enter Week 12 of the 2018-19 college basketball season in a solid 15-6 career in the best college basketball elections against the spread. Whoever has been following him is going up.
Now, the model has studied the spread of American vs. Boston University from all angles and crushed the numbers. We can tell you that the model is leaning towards the end, and it has also generated an extremely strong selection of points that reaches more than 50 percent of the time. That selection is available on SportsLine.
The model has taken into account the recent struggles of the Eagles. American has lost four of five overall, with the only victory over the Navy during that time. All four of those losses came with a single digit, but they have highlighted the inability of American to consistently play at both ends of the court.
The Eagles offense struggled in a 55-54 loss to Bucknell recently, and although they have scored more than 75 points in their last two games, their defense has failed and yielded 83.5 points in those contests. If they can not make a more complete effort on Wednesday, they will have a hard time getting the victory or coverage in this conference showdown.
But a confrontation against the Terriers, another team near the end of the Patriot League, could be just what the Eagles need to cover this spread between the University of the United States and the University of Boston.
Boston University has lost three of four, and its last loss came in explosive fashion with a 77-56 loss to Colgate. The Terriers are in a poor position in almost all major statistical categories, including the scoring offense (72.1 ppg) and the scoring defense (71.3 ppg). BU has already lost 86-74 against the American this season, so he will have to play much better on Wednesday to avoid a replay.
