Prairie View A&M vs Lehigh Pickswise Expert Predictions

Point Spread Pick
Lehigh Win -2.5(-115)

Teams that score and play with tempo, they are fun to watch. They also get alot of love from the betting market. That’s Prairie View A&M in this situation. The Panthers also have been on a sick heater against the spread. 10 straight covers and an incredulous march through the SWAC to land PVAM in the First Four. Where were the Panthers two weeks ago? Sitting at 11-17 staring down the barrel of a bottom-tier seed in the conference tournament before they did the unthinkable.

That narrative will curry alot of market favor. The market is investing in the story as much as the allure of a fast-paced offensive team that can run it up and down the floor. But this isn’t the SWAC, this is the Big Dance and tempo teams don’t exactly fare well. Enter Lehigh. The Mountain Hawks quietly orchestrated their own uncanny run to the First Four on the heels of solid defense that carried them through the Patriot League Tournament. Unlike the Panthers, the Hawks play slow and let the game come to them. This is exactly the sort of side that A&M doesn’t want to see in a play-in game to make the main bracket. But here we are. The Mountain Hawks will turn this into a grind and a knuckle-dragging rock fight that will throw the Panthers out of rhythm. This is the perfect spot to back Lehigh. Lay the points.

Prairie View A&M vs Lehigh prediction: Lehigh -2.5 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable to -3.
