Point Spread Pick for American University vs. Boston University
- Boston University to cover. (4 Units)
The Terriers have the edge in this game because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 75 points per game, while making 49 percent of their shots. They played better in recent games, making 53 percent of their shots in their last three games. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 80 percent of their free throws in their last three games, while the Eagles barely made 70 percent of theirs. They rebound the ball well, and grab more than seven offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also cut down their turnovers in recent games, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Eagles aren’t very good defensively, and they’re giving up more than 78 points per game on the road, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Terriers. Take Boston University to cover the spread.
