Northern Kentucky -6 is the move. Detroit Mercy is just bad offensively—ranks 347th in FG% (39.6%), struggles from deep (33.9%). NKU isn’t elite, but they’re better—41.1% FG, and their defense (opponents shoot 44.8%) is stronger than Detroit’s. Detroit also ranks 274th in points allowed (74.8 PPG), a huge liability. NKU took the last matchup 73-60, covering -13.5. Detroit Mercy has lost six straight and is 2-9 in conference play. They average just 66 PPG (344th) while NKU holds teams to 71 PPG. Even on the road, NKU is the better team—just faced a tough schedule. Detroit turns the ball over too much (0.82 A/TO ratio), giving NKU easy transition points. Detroit’s offense has cratered—just 50 PPG in the last two. NKU is 5-16 ATS but don’t let that fool you—Detroit is just 2-9 in conference for a reason. NKU dominates the glass, creating extra possessions. NKU by double digits again.
Over 131.5-110

Detroit Mercy struggles defensively—ranks 274th in points allowed (74.8 PPG). Opponents shoot 42.8% FG, but at home, DETU allows 74.7 PPG. Both defenses struggle contesting threes—NKU allows 37.2% (351st), DETU gives up 32.0%. Offensively, NKU scores 65.9 PPG on the road but should exploit DETU’s weak interior. Detroit Mercy averages 70.7 PPG at home, a significant bump from their season average (66.0). Last five games: NKU allows 74.6 PPG, DETU 76.4 PPG. Past meetings suggest points: 133+ in 3 of the last 5, including a 139 total last year at Detroit. Tempo should be steady, and DETU’s poor defense makes it a great spot.
