Brown at Providence

This is a matchup of schools that are a short distance apart and has become somewhat of a rivalry, but not one that Providence can get fired up for, and certainly means more to Brown. Ivy League opponents are hard to play, especially for a team like Providence that likes to get out on the break and play up-tempo. Brown, like most Ivy schools plays methodically in the half court, and at times frustrates this type of opponent into ill-advised shots, and challenges their commitment on the defensive end. The Bears are 1-0 on the season and have been 7-3 ATS off a win in their last 10. I think the number is too big here, so I like Brown to stay inside it. Take Brown tonight.
