This is a 10* TOTAL BOOKIEKILLER on the UNDER Belmont/Drake.

Two of the best in the conference go head to head here in this Missouri Valley matchup, and in my opinion, all signs point to more of a defensive battle than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe.

Belmont is 19-9, including just 6-6 on the road though, while Drake is 22-6, including 12-1 at home.

Belmont plays with revenge here after falling 79-61 at home to the Bulldogs back on January 29th, but note that the Bruis have in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in four of their last five in trying to avenge a SU/ATS conference home loss against an opponent.

Drake has won eight in a row. It's now seen the total go OVER in six straight. But note that the Bulldogs have still seen the total go UNDER the number in six of their last eight after playing to five or more straight OVERs in a row.

Expect this highly-competitive battle to be a defensive one.

The play is the UNDER.

Good luck, NP
