Mercer at E. Tennessee State

Both teams have 7-11 records and they split last season's two meetings with Mercer winning the rematch 65-56 and the Bears look to stop a five-game skid as it travels to East Tennessee State, which has been even more disappointing as it was picked to finish near the top of the Southern Conference standings. The Buccaneers are only 3-6 at home and they have lost five in a row on their home court, including 70-56 to Furman last Saturday before going on the road to defeat The Citadel. Mercer is 6-1 ATS its past seven after losing by at least 10 points at home and the Bears are 17-8-1 ATS versus teams that have a .400 or lower winning percentage. East Tennessee State is 4-10 ATS its past 14 games and 0-7 ATS at home and 4-11 ATS overall following a win. Take Mercer as a Max Play.
