VCU Rams Betting Preview

Over on the VCU side, they’ve been comparatively inactive so far this year. The Rams have four games in the books, carving out a .500 record in that quartet of appearances. VCU’s first matchup of the year was their first win. The team took out Wagner 103-74 in a blowout on November 3. The Rams would fall in a tough one versus a visiting Utah State team in game two however, losing that one 80-77. Game three marked a recovery for VCU though; they took out Saint Peter’s 78-61 at Siegel Center. Leading the team in the victory was Tyrell Ward with 15 points and three boards. Terrence Hill added 13 points in 16 minutes of action.

Back on Monday in their most recent appearance versus NC State, VCU slipped back into the loss column. The Rams were down 39-35 at the break and didn’t end up getting any closer in an 85-79 loss.

Coppin State Eagles @ VCU Rams Betting Trends: November 22, 2025

Why the VCU Rams will win

• Coppin State has lost 28 of its last 29 night games against non-Conference opponents.

• VCU has won the first half in each of its last nine night games against non-Conference opponents at Stuart C. Siegel Center.

Coppin State vs VCU Prediction

I’ll stick with VCU. The Rams didn’t play too badly on Monday versus a very good NC State team, all things considered. VCU shot just 40.9 percent from the field and got outmuscled on the boards 43-29 while missing six of their 18 free-throw attempts (66.7 percent). The Wolfpack made 27 of their 33 tries at the line (81.8 percent), which really made the difference in the six-point Rams loss. VCU is scoring on a very nice clip this year: they’ve hit 77 or more points in all four games. Their losses have been by a combined nine points to a couple of comparatively talented squads. The good news for the Rams is that this one should be another victory. Coppin State has struggled mightily so far this year and probably won’t score super well.
