Pre-Game Analysis
Alabama A&M rolls into DePaul on Monday with both teams unbeaten, but the market isn't treating this like a coin flip. The Blue Demons are -23.5 on the spread and -10000 on the moneyline at Bovada. Strip out the margin and the market gives DePaul a 94% chance to win. That's the number to beat, and it's a big one.
The case for DePaul starts with defense. The Blue Demons are allowing 69.0 points per game while scoring 78.5, and they've won their first two. They're shooting 43.1% from the field, which isn't pretty, but they don't need to be at home against a team giving up points in bunches. The spread says they win comfortably, and the market agrees.
The case for Alabama A&M is the offense. The Bulldogs are putting up 96.5 points per game and allowing just 52.0, and they're shooting 50.4% from the field. They've won two straight and four of their last five dating back to last season. A team that scores like that can cover a big number if DePaul's shooting stays cold. The +23.5 at Bovada is the best price on the board for the underdog.
The line hasn't budged since opening: DePaul -23.5 at Bovada, still -23.5 at Bovada. The total moved from 140 to 139.5, a small tick toward the under. For the over, BetOnline.ag has -105; for the under, Bovada has -105. On the moneyline, Bovada has both sides: DePaul -10000, Alabama A&M +1600.
