I'll be taking Penn + the pts, I don't see anything from last season or early season suggestions about Drexel that make them worth betting. Penn is also playing after an OT loss last yr to Drexel, you can be assured the revenge factor will be in effect. The last 2 out of 3 seasons for Drexel have been losing ones. Penn also just played UNC pretty decently at home, they actually were tied with them in the 2nd half for scoring. One last thing I love to see is right now 70% of the public sides with Drexel topped with its an ESPN game...All this considered Penn + the pts looks to be the play.

I WANTED to take Penn on ML, but don't see one at any of my books.

So Penn +2 for me.

We need some more people on Drexel for anti-jinx purposes.

Follow the money and take Penn or take the home team that hasn't played yet this season? I'm looking at Bodog's preview of this game. Don't they read this before they put it out LOL.

Drexel is the toughest team to score on in the league, allowing just 0.0 points per game.
Drexel has the best field goal percentage against in the league allowing 0.0.
Drexel gives up the lowest free throw percentage in the league allowing 0.0% per game.
Drexel leads the league in three points made allowed with 0.0 per game.
Drexel leads the league in rebounds allowed at 0.0.

I don't think the home team part factors in too much..because basically these two schools share a campus... they are like 1 city block apart...so not too much of an advantage there..
