Detroit Mercy Favored to Win Home Opener Despite Weakness in Three-Point Shooting

Detroit Mercy's difficult strength of schedule puts them in a better position than Eastern Michigan to pull off an expected win in their home opener. Although neither team has excelled in perimeter protection or scoring, the Titans have a particularly poor record with three-point shots. However, the Eagles have also demonstrated ineffectiveness with shooting from long range and have not relied much on beyond the arc opportunities. With a narrow spread and an even match-up, taking Detroit -1.5 is the best bet.
