North Alabama

North Alabama’s home dominance makes them the smart moneyline pick

Grade A: North Alabama Moneyline

North Alabama has been dominant at home, winning 13 of 14 games on their home floor, and their offensive production remains steady behind Jacari Lane’s 16.7 points per game. Queens University has been competitive on the road but has struggled to slow down high-powered offenses, which could prove costly against a Lions squad that scores nearly 79 points per contest. With moneyline odds of -335 for North Alabama and +260 for Queens, the Lions' ability to control tempo and create easy scoring opportunities makes them the best bet. This prediction receives a grade of A, as North Alabama’s consistency at home makes them the safer play.

North Alabama’s offence should be enough to pull away late.

Grade A: North Alabama Spread -7.5

The Lions have thrived on their home floor this season, regularly outpacing opponents with their efficient scoring attack. Queens University has shown resilience on the road but has struggled to defend elite scorers, which could be problematic against a North Alabama team that has multiple offensive threats. The spread is set at -7.5, and given North Alabama’s ability to put together scoring runs and Queens’ inconsistency in late-game situations, backing the Lions to cover is the right move. This prediction receives a grade of A, as North Alabama’s ability to wear down opponents at home makes them likely to pull away.

Scoring efficiency makes the over a strong play in this one

Grade A: Over 154.5 Total Points

With North Alabama averaging 79.0 points per game and Queens University putting up 76.6 per contest, this matchup has the makings of a high-scoring affair. Both teams push the pace and rely on their offensive playmakers to dictate the game. While neither defense has been particularly strong, their ability to score in transition and knock down outside shots suggests a back-and-forth contest. With the total set at 154.5, the offensive firepower on both sides makes the over the best play. This prediction receives a grade of A, as the combination of pace and scoring efficiency should result in a total that surpasses the set line.
