Taking SIUE this afternoon. How the heck is Eastern favored here. First off. We'll start with their 2-7 ATS record as faves this year. They covered as 1pt and 4.5pt faves. Lost outright as 4.5pt faves 3 times, 4,3,2,1 to close out their outright losses as faves. They're 6-11 in Ohio Valley action, SIUE 5-12. Eastern won by 4 a couple weeks ago shooting 57% from the floor. The dog is on a 4-1 ATS run in the series. Eastern 2-8 ATS last 10 at home. 9-17 ATS on the year tells us all we really need to know. And the numbers when they are favored is just the proverbial icing on the cake for me. SIUE has covered 4 straight in Ohio Valley play and 5 of their last 6 on the road. 4* Money Maker
