Creighton should not be the underdog in this match-up Saturday. Creighton is 16-5 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games over the last 2 seasons. Creighton is 9-2 ATS when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) over the last 2 seasons. Bradley is 0-7 ATS after covering 8 or more of their last 10 against the spread since 1997. Despite Bradley recent ATS success, the Braves are getting too much respect against one of the best teams in the MVC. Cash in with Creighton as the underdog.
