Detroit vs IUPUI Prediction
The IUPUI Jaguars are going to be favored at home, where they’ve seen four of their five wins come this season.

So despite not winning a game in more than a month, this is where the streak should end for the IUPUI Jaguars. With all that said, the Detroit Mercy Titans are 12-4 ATS on the season. Detroit may not shoot well and may not win, but it’s one of the best cover teams in college basketball. That’s all we care about in this line of work. Give me the points with the Detroit Mercy Titans.
