Winthrop vs North Dakota Prediction
North Dakota has a serious scoring problem during this recent losing stretch, and it’s why it lost outright to Western Illinois as a 7.5-point favorite. It’s hard to get behind North Dakota with some of these rough offensive showings we’re seeing. Winthrop has more pep in its step offensively, topping 100 points several times, and its 7-3 ATS on the season. Even on the road, Winthrop should win this game going away if the form of both teams holds true. I’ll lay the points with the road team.
