American is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Wednesday games while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a win. Boston University is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games while the over is 14-6 in their last 20 home games.
Pick
I’m leaning towards American here. Both teams have issues putting points on the board, but I at least want the team that’s better shooting from the floor and that team is also the much better scoring defense and that’s American. The Eagles have had a bit more recent success side-by-side between these two teams and I think the Eagles get the job done here.
