Cal State Northridge vs Drexel (-2.5)
Drexel started at -2 everywhere basically and now went to -2.5. First glance I really wanted to pound Drexel. 1-4 CS Northridge against 1-1 Drexel should be a good bet, but the problem to me is Drexel beat Penn 66-64 at home in the first game and then just get drilled by Georgetown 53-81. Georgetown shot the ball terribly from behind the arc and still blew right past them. Their own win was against Penn and if you'll remember it was the early game on ESPN (around 10 AM?) during that 24 hour madness event that ended with the UNC/UK game. I actually made a very small bet on Drexel at -2 just for interest. I think this line will rise and I'm hoping it'll get to around 3.5 which is extremely unlikely but possible I guess. I'm thinking that Drexel played over their heads in the Penn game, because it was on ESPN in the full spotlight. I remember seeing an article talking about Drexel excusing all the students from class for coming to the game. Throw in that it was "an area game" and I dont put much stock into that game. Penn also recently lost 63-73 to Albany. I'm thinking home court advantage is getting blown way out of proportion here. CS Northridge has already played 4 road games against Rider, New Mexico, Cal State-Bakersfield, and Stanford. They lost all 4 of these games but all of these teams are better than Drexel in my mind. CS-Bakersfield actually beat Pepperdine on the road. Public is all over Drexel here and I'm really thinking I can get a great price right before tip. If this gets to +3.5 or better I'm going to make a nice sized bet on CS-Northridge
