Houston Baptist has a total of 1-5 ATS in the last 6 games and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 neutral games, while the last 4 games outnumbered 4-0 after a loss. Incarnate Word is 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games total and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record, while the over in the last 14 games after losing is 10-4. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between these two teams.
Usually you think that getting points with the higher seed can be a good value, but this is one of the spots where the lower seeds are preferred for a reason. The Huskies may only have 5 wins this season but two of those wins came from Swearnate and it was also their only away win for the Huskies this season. I just think Houston Baptist could be on the minds of the Cardinals here, and while it’s tough to beat the same team three times in a season, I’ll be putting the points with Houston Baptist at this point.
