Coppin St +8 over North Carolina Central

Physical Education Complex – Baltimore, MD

4:30 PM ET. Backing a 1-13 Coppin State squad isn’t for the faint of heart, but value often resides in the most unappealing places. Coppin State is ranked 360th in NET and 362nd in KenPom—barely a step above the basement. Yet here we are, with Coppin taking back just 6½ points at home against a middling NC Central team. That number alone raises eyebrows.

NC Central is no powerhouse themselves. They’re 7-10 on the year and a dismal 2-6 on the road. Despite this, the Eagles find themselves in an unfamiliar role as road chalk, laying their largest number of the season. Coppin, meanwhile, is taking back its shortest price of the year. That disparity tells you everything you need to know. The oddsmakers are daring you to lay the lumber with NC Central.

NC Central has dominated this series historically, winning seven of the last eight meetings and covering four straight. The public sees this and thinks, “NC Central rolls.” But the Eagles are in a classic letdown spot, with a rivalry game against Morgan State looming on Monday. Coppin State, on the other hand, has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
