Morehead State is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 Thursday games and 5-12 ATS in their last 17 road games. The over is 5-2-1 in Morehead State’s last 8 road games. Belmont is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS loss and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a win. The over is 5-1 in Belmont’s last 6 Thursday games. The home team is 8-3 ATS in these two teams last 11 head to head meetings.
This should be a very entertaining game between two of the three best teams in the Ohio Valley Conference. Belmont has an offense that scores more than 81 points per game, while Morehead State plays at a slower pace and gives up fewer points per game against. I like Morehead State on the road in this game and think it will be decided late, with both teams having a chance to win.
