North Alabama at Colorado picks and predictions
Prediction
Colorado 84, North Alabama 63
Moneyline
PASS. UNA is a lean in precept however the return right here doesn’t match the chance.
In opposition to the unfold
The Buffaloes are 0-5 ATS of their final 5 video games following a straight-up win. And they’re 1-6-2 ATS of their final 9 house video games towards foes with a shedding highway file.
Colorado is actually the extra gifted group right here, however the Buffs have been inconsistent over the primary 5 weeks of the season. An 83-74 loss to a Grambling group on Nov. 11 which is — like North Alabama — exterior the KenPom top-200 was not a superb look. Neither was a 66-63 loss to UMass on Nov. 17.
The Lions are a strong sufficient defensive rebounding group, and so they have displayed a capability to regularly get to the foul line. Their protection has been undone by perimeter capturing (opponents capturing 41.7% from distance), and that determine is due for a market correction. Not a lot as to count on a single-digit margin on this sport, however the Lions can play this contest right down to a 20-point loss.
TAKE NORTH ALABAMA +22.5 (-105).
Over/Below
PASS. An excessive amount of grey space in how this sport swings with a lot benefit to the house aspect.
