I like Eastern Michigan to cover the 7.5-point spread. The Eagles have added several upperclassmen transfers, including guards Jalen Terry (Oregon/DePaul transfer averaging 18.5 PPG and 7.3 RPG while shooting 46.7% from 3PT range) and Christian Henry (Junior College transfer averaging 12.5 PPG), and have a talented frontcourt with Jalin Billingsley, (averaging 15.3 PPG and 6.5 RPG) and Da’Sean Nelson (DePaul transfer).

I don't see why Oakland should be laying this many points, either. It has played three challenging opponents in Boise State, Illinois and Kansas, but didn't play well in those games. The Grizzlies lost several key pieces to graduation (Blake Lampman, Rocket Watts and Jack Gohlke) and the transfer portal (Trey Townsend and Chris Conway) and have taken a significant step back offensively. They are shooting 37% from the field and 21% from three-point range...
