Portland vs Loyola Marymount Prediction
In this Portland vs Loyola Marymount Prediction, Loyola Marymount is coming as -8.5 home favorites. Loyola Marymount has been the better team this season and have been very strong at home, while Portland is winless on the road so far. But both teams are coming into this matchup in poor form, as Loyola Marymount is 1-4 in its last 5 games and Portland 2-7 in its last 9, so I see no value on either side. Both teams have been playing some higher-scoring games lately, as they are 8-3 to the over in their last 11 games combined, with Loyola Marymount’s defense struggling lately. Take the over 147.5 points in this one.
