Result: Win

Rams – over Bulldogs- This number appears to be really high considering Butler's performance this past couple of seasons and the fact that both these clubs have identical 22-6 records. It seems even more out-of-line when you see that Butler is 15-10 ATS while VCU in just 8-13 ATS and 2-7 ATS in their last nine games overall and the Bulldogs are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine road games. Another factor that makes this 'price' seem a bit inflated is that Butler is ranked 21 while the rams are 25. The number just don't add up unless you laid it and I will. Take VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH!
