CLEVELAND STATE +7 Butler

We see it so often. In fact it was common in the MAC. Mid-major teams do very impressively in non-conference play, they have sky-high expectations entering the league and if anything the conference foes represent a bit of a letdown. Like Ohio and Miami-Ohio among others in previous years, Butler also has that proverbial “bulls-eye” on their chest.

Trying to recover from a heart-breaking double OT loss at Wright State, now they play three road game in six nights. They are laying a big number to a team that is 5-1 SU at home and though Butler did win the last time they met on this court, it was a three-pointer with 2.7 seconds remaining from Brandon Miller breaking a deadlock. We will happily take a repeat performance.

Even in years that Butler won the Horizon League, then know as the Midwest Collegiate Conference they had very slow starts out of the gate. The only question is whether to bet the money line.
