The Cleveland State Vikings are 8-5 in Horizon League play including a home upset of Butler, but they have really hit the skids of late and the Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix could tie them in the conference standings with a win tonight.
In fact, the Vikings are on a six-game losing streak against the spread, and after beginning the season 7-0 straight up in conference play, they had lost five in a row before a non-covering 60-56 win over a lousy Detroit team on Saturday. This skid began with a 59-50 loss to the Phoenix in Green Bay on January 24.
On the other hand, the Phoenix have been faithful to their supporters, as they are a perfect 4-0 ATS in the last four games to move to 12-8, 60.0 percent ATS overall for the season. More importantly they have dominated this head-to-head series from a betting perspective, going 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings.
Perhaps Cleveland State is now feeling the pressure after their surprisingly hot conference start, so we will side with the much hotter team as an underdog in this spot.

To say there’s some bad blood between these two teams is something of an understatement. Utah State and Nevada are arch-rivals in the WAC. They’ve played in the WAC Conference championship game against one another in each of the last two years with Nevada winning in overtime the first time and Utah State winning a hotly contested game by two last year. The Wolfpack felt robbed by the refs in that game, just one week after they had lost by the exact same two point margin in Logan, a pair of games that they still remember and talk about.
Nevada failed in their chance at revenge in Logan ten days ago, losing by 14. But now, with a short turnaround time and triple revenge against a team they know they can beat (79-62 in the Aggies last trip to Reno), we can expect a concerted effort from the home team; as head coach Mark Fox has his team peaking at the right time after a slow start to the season. The Wolfpack blew out Hawaii by 20 on Saturday, beat San Jose by 38 earlier in the week, beat Fresno by a dozen, and won big at Louisiana Tech and New Mexico State – the same New Mexico State team that beat Utah State by 30 on their home floor two weeks ago. Wolfpack get their revenge here! (Write-in) Take Nevada.
