Texas is just 6-10 ATS on the road this season folks. They scored over 10 points less per game away from home than at home as well while allowing over 7 per game more. That's huge. Penn comes in off a loss to Princeton as a six point favorite. That, combined with the lack of respect for the Ivy league, and Texas' notoriety this season and #2 seed, equals good value on the dog here in what's an inflated line. Ivy League player of the year Ibrahim Jaaber leads a pretty experienced Penn team here. Texas' road woes were most glaring against good teams this season as they were 0-6 ATS away from home vs. good teams that won by an average of 4+ points per game (Penn won by 9 per game this year). Again, a big dog here with a very good defense (Penn allowed 60 ppg). I like that combination. Three stars on Penn plus the points.
