Saint Louis at Duquesne

Premium Pick

St. Louis really had the program off and running with five 20+ win seasons over a seven year period, including three seasons of 27 wins or more. The last couple of years this team has fallen off the cliff. They have followed an 11-21 season, with a 6-9 start this year. Duquesne has followed four straight seasons of .500 or less with a strong 10-6 start to their 2015 season. But there is an issue. The Dukes have played and won seven unlined games, basically meaning that the 10-6 record is a product of a schedule that has been loaded with complete mismatches vs. vastly inferior competition. Otherwise, they have a losing record on the season. This line has too much to do with the team records, and not the relative strength of the opponents, which in this case is a lot closer than the line indicates. Make the play on St. Louis.
