Purdue Fort Wayne vs Oakland Prediction
This line has shifted since the opener, which means the money has poured in on the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons. While you usually don’t want to be on the side of the public, I’m backing Fort Wayne as well. Purdue Fort Wayne has the high-scoring offense to give Oakland fits and the Mastdons have four road wins so they’re not going to be scared. Also, Fort Wayne is 13-5 ATS on the season, one of the best cover teams in college basketball. The Oakland Golden Grizzlies don’t have the offensive horses to hang with the Mastodons if those shots are falling. Give me IPFW on Wednesday night.
