Loyola started out the season on fire, winning seven straight. They have since dropped five of seven though as the competition heated up. But this is a winnable game and I think they pull it off. Youngstown started the season 2-0-1 ATS but they have yet to cover a spread in nine straight games, losing five of them outright. The Ramblers have the better offense and the better defense. The Penguins have really struggled vs. teams that hold on to the ball. Dating back to last season, they are just 1-13 straight-up vs. teams that commit less than 15 turnovers per game (the Ramblers turn it over just 12 times per game). Youngstown has pulled off an upset just two times in 20 games as an underdog the past two seasons. They have also only won 3 of 21 conference games over that span. While it may be close, I like Loyola to win this game.
