Northern Kentucky vs. Wright State odds, line: 2019 Horizon League Championship picks, predictions from model on 11-5 run

An automatic berth in the 2019 NCAA Tournament is on the line Tuesday when the Wright State Raiders and Northern Kentucky Norse meet up at 7 p.m. ET in the Horizon League Championship game. Vegas lists this matchup as a pick’em, meaning neither side is getting any points, while the over-under is 133 in the latest Northern Kentucky vs. Wright State odds. While other conference tournaments have seen plenty of madness thus far, it’s been chalk in the Horizon League, as the league’s regular season co-champions will battle in the finals. Before making any Northern Kentucky vs. Wright State picks of your own, be sure to check out the 2019 Horizon League Championship game predictions from SportsLine’s proven model. 

This model, which simulates every game 10,000 times, has raked in the winnings for those following its picks. Over the past two years, the SportsLine Projection Model has returned over $4,000 to $100 players on its top-rated college basketball picks. It also entered Conference Championship Week on a strong 11-5 run on all top-rated college basketball picks. Anyone who has followed it is way up. 

Now the model has honed in on Northern Kentucky vs. Wright State. We can tell you it is leading over, and it also has locked in an against-the-spread pick that cashes in well over 60 percent of simulations. That one is only available at SportsLine.

The model has taken into account that Northern Kentucky had the best overall record in the Horizon League (25-8) and matched Wright State for the best mark in conference play (13-5). The Norse enter this title matchup with four straight wins overall.

Through two games in the 2019 Horizon League Tournament, they’ve shown they can win multiple ways. Their offense, which averaged almost 80 points per game in the regular season, was on full display in the quarterfinals in a 99-88 victory over Detroit. They followed that with a grind-it-out defensive battle in a 64-63 win over Oakland in the semifinals. 

But that doesn’t guarantee that the Norse will cover the Northern Kentucky vs. Wright State spread on Tuesday in the Horizon League Tournament 2019 final.

That’s because Wright State (21-12) has won nine of 10 overall and covered twice this season against the Norse already. The Raiders lost straight-up, but kept it within a five-point spread in their first meeting. Then they won straight-up by four in the second meeting, covering a two-point spread in the process. 

Those covers were part of a larger trend of the Raiders faring well against Vegas expectations this season. In fact, they were 18-13 against the spread overall. And they’re comfortable on short rest as well, posting a 9-5 record against the spread when having fewer than four days between games. 

So who wins Wright State vs. Northern Kentucky? And which side of the spread can you bank on in well over 60 percent of simulations?
