Drake at Loyola Chicago

Loyola had some easy wins in the early going. But, as the games have become more difficult vs. competent opponents, the win column has come to a screeching halt, as they are 1-5 in their last six games. Drake has lost three straight, but this is a team that beat Fresno State, lost on the road to St. Mary's by just 4, and took New Mexico State, the only team to win at New Mexico this year, to overtime on the road. There is certainly a lot higher of a ceiling here for the Bulldogs. Drake has also responded when playing a losing team, where they are 10-4 ATS in their last 14. Loyola simply has no home-court edge, as they are a dismal 8-20-1 ATS here in their last 29. Play on Drake in this one.
