MIT Simulator - NCAAB Thursday Clemson vs Ohio University Winner
MIT Simulator Score - Tigers 74.53, Bobcats 72.87 - Projected Margin of Victory: 1.66 - Current Line: +10.5 - Variance to Line: 8.84 - MIT Simulator shows Edge Factor of 8.84 points. Value is nearly double digits! Key factors noted: Both teams have played weak competition early on so this will be the first tougher test for each. Ohio University was unimpressive in their first game (at least on offense) but one should never put too much weight into one game. The Bobcats are returning key personnel from last season's team and are projected to challenge Buffalo for the top spot in the MAC's East Division this season. Clemson lost 3 of their 5 starters from last season's team and are expected to finish near the bottom of the ACC. Of course the ACC is much stronger than the MAC but the Tigers went just 6-12 in ACC action last season and are projected to struggle again this season. The location of this game (Charleston, SC) certainly favors the Tigers but it is still a neutral court game. Clemson is 1-5 ATS in neutral court games where they are favored in a range of 9.5 to 12 points. The Bobcats are 7-1 ATS against ACC opponents! Also, Ohio U. is 5-0 ATS as a neutral court dog of 9.5 to 12 points. Net edge factors for Tigers equating to a victory by only 1.66 points per MIT Simulator. Play: OHIO UNIVERSITY
