American vs. Army Prediction, Odds, Line, Spread, and Picks - January 11 | 2022-23 NCAA Basketball Season

The Patriot League will be busy tonight with the first tip-off between the American Eagles and Army Black Knights.

American is red-hot, having won four in a row to position themselves atop the Patriot League early. Since dropping their first two games of the season, both on the road, they've gone 12-1. That includes seven consecutive road wins and the perfect start to their conference schedule.

Army was on a four-game winning streak before Colgate snapped it on Monday. It was their first conference loss of the season. The two-point loss snapped a four-game winning streak at home as well. They are back in action tonight with a shot to recapture that momentum though.

This should be a big game, with massive implications for the Patriot League standings down the road. Let's find out if American remain undefeated in the conference, or will Army even up against them in the standings tonight.

American vs. Army Betting Prediction

This game could truly go either way. Both teams are playing well, and it'll probably come down to who establishes their playstyle first.

American has the better defense, and although they score fewer points per game, they are a more efficient offense than Army. The only edge that American doesn't have is rebounding. I think American will keep their streak alive tonight.

Prediction: American Money Line (+104)
