Montana at Creighton

Montana heads out on the road and the Grizzlies are 5-13-1 ATS when following a spread loss. They come off an 80-77 loss to Georgia Southern as a favorite and things get even tougher here.

Creighton is 5-1 after wins over Boise State, Georgia State and No. 16 Clemson last week to win the Cayman Islands Classic. The Bluejays have star power in the starting lineup and got a big lift from their bench in the title game, as the unit combined for 25 points on 11-of-16 shooting against Clemson as a +4.5 dog. Creighton is 87-62 ATS after three consecutive non-conference games, plus 36-17 ATS off an upset win as an underdog. Play Creighton.
