Belmont vs Valparaiso Prediction
Valparaiso hasn’t won a game since January 8 and is 2-6-2 ATS in its last 10 games. Valparaiso also has six home losses this season, so don’t expect things to change much. Belmont is one of the better teams in the MVC, with a top-30 scoring offense and a top-20 three-point shooting percentage. Belmont beat Valparaiso last month, allowing just 64 points. Belmont has won seven straight games against Valparaiso, not losing since December 2015. Valparaiso is watching its season spiral out of control and I doubt things turn around against one of the best offenses in college basketball. I’ll roll with Belmont on the road.
