When it comes to Arch Madness, aka the MVC Tournament, the Bulldogs have been here and done that. They’ve had a first-round bye over the last five seasons and they have won their opening game by double-digits each time. Drake plays elite defense and has held 9 of their last 11 opponents to 65 or fewer, including a 10-point road win over the Salukis back on February 1st. This also matches up with a great trend from the MVC tournament when it comes to betting on big favorites. Only two of the 42 underdogs of 6.5 points or more in the MVC tourney since 2014 have won outright and have gone 13-29 ATS (31%) in those games.
