The wrong team might be favored in the Missouri Valley opener for both. The SportsLine Projection Model has the Braves winning by six and ESPN's BPI has Bradley slightly better. Northern Iowa is getting a bit of an odds boost because it upset St. Bonaventure last time out, but the Panthers haven't beaten anyone else notable and lost to Nicholls. They are 4-9 ATS in their past 13 on the road. During the season's first five contests, the Braves made just 25.2 percent of their three-point shots but are hitting 48.7 percent in the past two. Last season, these schools split a pair of close games in Cedar Falls. I expect this spread to drop a bit.
