Nicholls vs New Orleans Prediction
Nicholls is coming off two straight bad results against Northwestern State and SE Louisiana, and it’s not encouraging when going on the road. However, New Orleans is going nowhere fast with just four wins on the season and has yet to win a game at home. You have to be a bad basketball team to be this deep into the season and have yet to win a home game. New Orleans hasn’t won a game overall in a month. Nicholls is a profitable 13-8-2 ATS on the season and has won eight of the last 10 games against New Orleans. I’ll lay the points with Nicholls, but there are better options out there on Monday’s CBB card.
Randy Chambers's Pick: Nicholls -8.5
