Bradley Braves (9-5) vs Loyola-Chicago Ramblers (11-3)

Bradley is a team that is going downhill fast, losing to Illinois State 71-56. In that game, they were outrebounded by three and turned the ball over 14 times. They are missing two big men from their rotation and it loomed large in their last game. That's a recipe for disaster against Loyola Chicago, who are second in the nation in points allowed at 57.3 points per game. They'll take advantage in the paint, get easy buckets and as a lethal three-point team(38.9%)will get their shots beyond the arc. This would normally be a spot for the home dog but the Ramblers are too strong and with the Braves not being at full strength this should be a one-sided affair. Loyola Chicago has won their last four by double-digits, their last two by 36 and 42, are 9-3 ATS and 4-1 ATS when 7.5-9.5-point favorites. Lay the points.
