The Golden Eagles are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games against a team that has a losing record. They are also 8-1 against the spread in their last nine games against a team with a winning percentage of less than.400 and are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games.
The Missouri State Bears have a 6-4 advantage over the Golden Eagles in their last 10 encounters. However, current form and statistics do not support this cause. The fact that they are playing away from home doesn't give them any advantage either.
