Taking AUSTIN PEAY here. First off, Peay has played some real teams this year. Tennessee, Memphis, Detroit, GW, Oral Roberts, Cal just to name a few. Tough road games. Eastern Illinois played the likes of Maine, Eureka, Stony Brook, Central Arkansas. You get the picture.. Eureka! We will compare 2 like opponents so far. Austin Peay beat Tennessee State 69-63 at home. Eastern Illinois lost at home to them 55-46. Both lost to Murray State. Peay, 87-75, Eastern Illinois 73-40. Again both games at home. I don't normally put much stock into stats like that. But here, they are over-whelming. Eastern Illinois played a soft schedule. They don't have the talent to run with better team, in the Ohio Valley or out of conference for that matter. Road team and favorite on 9-3 ATS runs. Austin Peay 5-1 ATS last 6 trips into Eastern Illinois. 5* AUSTIN PEAY
