Valpo vs. Kent St. Prediction 11/24/2017
One of the key angles in early season college basketball betting is weighing out the strength of each teams’ opponents and if you find an edge to exploit that can-do wonders for your bankroll. In tonight’s game we don’t even need to make assessments on the competition’s power rankings, as they have a common opponent. Both teams played the Southeastern Louisiana Lions with polar- opposite results. Valpo crushed the Lions by 33 while Kent State lost by 4.I’ll also add that the Crusaders have yet to lose this season going 5-0 with the lowest margin of victory 21 points. I’ll take my chances laying the number.
