Basketball Betting Terms Crossword
These two offenses are similar, but Northwestern’s attack has exhibited more downside lately. Rutgers is the lean but not worth a play at -185.
Against the spread (ATS)
The Knights should have a fair measure of confidence after winning on the road at Indiana and then routing MSU. RU can defend mid-range and 3-point jumpers at a high level and is 5-1-1 ATS when following a straight-up win.
The multiple-possession tag here is a little scary, but look for the Knights to get a boost in the hidden-scoring departments of points off turnovers and second-chance points. BACK RUTGERS -3.5 (-115).
Over/Under (O/U)
The lean here is toward a game-flow bell curve hitting on too many numbers between 139-142. PASS.
