Point Spread Pick for VCU vs. Rhode Island
- Rhode Island Rams to cover. (4 Units)
Rhode Island has the edge here because they play well offensively at home, scoring more than 73 points per game, while making over 44 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 78 percent of their free throws, while VCU has made 71 percent of theirs on the road. They rebound the ball well and grab more than 10 offensive rebounds per game at home, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball and won’t give up a lot of easy-scoring chances. VCU isn’t very good defensively, and they’re giving up more than 79 points per game on the road, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down Rhode Island. Take Rhode Island to cover the spread.
