Free Betting Pick: Western Kentucky Hilltoppers +1
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 meetings with the Old Dominion Monarchs. Charles Bassey is one of the top forwards in Conference USA and the talent doesn’t only stop there as they are loaded. Old Dominion has been great this season and has won some big games, but the problem with them is if their two guards aren’t hitting shots, it brings down the whole team as there isn’t much scoring outside Stith and Carver. Western Kentucky wins and covers, 75-70.
