Saint Louis is 2-10 against the spread in their last 12 road games against a team with a winning home record. The under is 8-0 in Rhode Island’s last eight games played on Wednesday. The over is 4-0 in Saint Louis last four games played on Wednesday.

I like the way Rhode Island has played at home, and this is a point where Saint Louis is going to play down to the competition. Saint Louis has struggled to cover spreads on the road against good teams and that is going to be the case again in this game. Back Rhode Island to cover the spread.
