Reposting this play to keep full transparency. Oakland's best three-point shooter, Blake Lampman, was ruled out as soon as I posted this before. He broke his arm and will miss several weeks. I liked the play with him in this game, but again keeping transparency. Playing Oakland at a +5 may be worth it, but I do not like the play as much now as I did before.

Horizon League opener for both. I actually pondered the spread here but I'll stick to my game plan -- home teams are a reasonable moneyline price, although I try not to go above -200. I'm a bit shocked this isn't higher with Oakland at 2-6 and one win over something called Defiance, which sounds like a bad Jan-Michael Vincent movie (hint: they were all bad). The Vikings are riding a four-game win streak, in which they have outscored opponents by 11.5 points per game. Transfer forward Tristan Enaruna has been very good so far, averaging 13.3 points and 7.4 rebounds.
