James Madison vs UNC Wilmington Free Pick January 25, 2018

The UNC Wilmington Seahawks last game was a home win over Towson, and they were an eight point underdog in that game. Not only did I bet the Seahawks plus the points, I actually called for the outright win: “Towson won and covered as a 10 point favorite at home versus the Seahawks earlier this season, but they are asked to cover almost as many points here on the road in the rematch. Don’t be surprised if the home team wins this game outright.” The Seahawks are now 18-4 in their last 22 home games, and they come into tonight’s game against James Madison averaging a whopping 80.8 points per game at home this season. The Dukes have lost seven of eight road games this season, and they could be shorthanded in tonight’s game. Senior guard Joey McLean is questionable with an ankle injury and has not played in the last five games. The Dukes have won back to back home games, one in overtime and the other by just two points. Heading out on the road isn’t going to be easy, especially against a Seahawks team that they have struggled against in the past. The Dukes have failed to cover the spread in seven straight meetings between the two teams.
