In this prediction for Valparaiso versus Northwestern, Northwestern is coming in as the home favorite with a -15.5 point spread. Both teams have the same overall record for this season, and both have been struggling recently. Northwestern has a record of 1-3 in its last four games and a record of 1-4 against the spread in its last five games, while Valparaiso has a record of 2-3 in its past five games. Both teams have been involved in some games that have been higher in scoring recently, as seen by the fact that they have a combined record of 9-1 to the over in their last 10 games, and the Wildcats have been shooting at a rate of 50% from the field this season. Despite this, I do not see any value in either side of this clash. For this one, you should go with the over 146.5 points.
