IU Indy Jaguars vs. Wright State Raiders Prediction

I’m on the over here. This is a ton of points, but the home team in fairness has covered the last 8 meetings between these two teams. That being said, there’s a lot of volatility in IU Indy games as they shoot and make a ton of threes, but they also have trouble playing a lick of defense. We’ve seen 7 of the last 8 head-to-head meetings cash the over, and I think another one does here as well. Give me the over.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Over 162.5
