Murray State Racers vs. Morehead State Eagles News, Analysis, and Picks

Saturday's meeting between Murray State and Morehead State is the classic matchup of a league favorite heading towards the top challenger's home arena to see if the home underdog can dethrone the dominant visitors. In this case, it's just too difficult to envision the Eagles pulling off the upset. Thursday night's battle between league-challengers Belmont and Morehead State was a fun one that the Eagles were able to sneak away with, but most metrics realize there's a solid gap between those teams and the Racers who are the true cream of the crop in the Ohio Valley Conference.

Sitting at 23-2, Murray State has not only won 13 straight since December 22 but has also won by double-digits in ten of those 13 victories. They aren't playing the league close and regardless of this one being at the Johnson Arena, it's impossible to go against the Racers lately. This is the shortest spread you will see on Murray State in the regular season and we are going to take advantage of it. Back the favorites to get it done on the road in this spot.

The Pick: Murray State -2.5 (-110)
