Brett's Thanksgiving College Basketball Premium "HAMMER DOWN" 3-game special - Game 1
Iona Gaels +12
The 10th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide & Iona Gaels will square off at HP Field House this Thursday night and I think this is just too many points to pass up on with Iona in this one.
Alabama is no doubt a talented team and is coming off their best defensive performance of the season against Oakland, however, this is a team that still at times can struggle defensively as they come into this game ranked just 201st in scoring defense.
The Crimson Tide are 8-4 ATS in their last 12 games. The Gaels are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win 7 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall.
Iona is coached by one of the best that have ever done it in Rick Pitino and has a bunch of talent, led by Nelly Junior Joseph. Iona has a bench of talent in their starting five that should at worst be competitive with Alabama and as I’ve been impressed from what I’ve seen in wins against Hofstra & Liberty, I think the Gaels at worst will do enough to cover with the points. Good Luck!
