Why Binghamton Bearcats are a good bet +36

Like the Spartans, Binghamton didn’t have an auspicious beginning to this season. The Bearcats lost straight up to Cornell 64-84 on Nov. 5. They played awful. Big Red shot 51.6% from the field. They only forced 6 Cornell turnovers.

Although Binghamton’s performance was terrible, there is a silver lining. The Bearcats shot 36% from three. Because they have over 30 points to work with on Sunday, shooting that well from behind the three-point line could lead to a cover win.

Binghamton vs Michigan State NCAAF Final Betting Analysis

The question in this game is how fast the Spartans play. A fast game could lead to a cover. Binghamton doesn’t have a good defense. Just look at how many points the Bearcats allowed Cornell to score.

The Spartans were horrible from three against Kentucky. That shouldn’t be the case in this. Michigan State might not even need to shoot a ton of threes. Cornell shot close to 52% from the field against the Bearcats. MSU will dump the ball into the paint and score at will. Once in awhile, they’ll throw it out for a three-point shot. Not only that, but Binghamton struggled to score against Cornell. They have no shot of reaching 60 against Michigan State. Spartans cover.
