The Coach's NCAAB Afternoon Annihilator - RICH@VCU
(NCAAB) Richmond vs. Virginia Commonwealth,
Point Spread: -9.00 | -106.00 Virginia Commonwealth (Home)
Result: Loss
The VCU Rams have won 12 straight, and they are coming off an impressive 72-48 home win over George Washington on Tuesday. I expect to see another comfortable home win as they host the Richmond Spiders this afternoon.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Rams have won four straight meetings with Richmond, and three of those four wins came by a double-digit margin. They've won eight in a row at home versus the Spiders.

2. Home Cookin' - The Spiders are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 road games. The home team has covered the spread in 13 of the last 16 meetings in this series.

3. X-Factor - The Spiders shot just 36.9% from the field, losing all three meetings last season.

Selection: This is a play on the VCU Rams (8*)
