Game outlook

Drake is on the road playing Richmond at the Robins Center stadium on Saturday, 12/10/2022 @ 2:00pm EST. Drake -1.5 was the opening favorite and line hasn't moved.

On Saturday afternoon, the Drake Bulldogs (8-1, 1-1 MVC) will try to win their third consecutive game against the Richmond Spiders (3-5, 0-0 A-10). As 20-point favorites, the Bulldogs defeated Nebraska-Omaha 78-65. As eight-point favorites, the Spiders lost to William & Mary 58-57.

The Bulldogs are aiming for their ninth win in ten games

On a two-game winning streak, the Bulldogs come into this game in good shape. With a win over the Spiders, they will earn their third win in a row and ninth win in their last 10 games.

Drake averages 75.1 points per game. In their last game, they made 46 percent of their field goals and 31.8 percent of their three-pointers.

With 17 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists, Darnell Brodie led the Bulldogs. Tucker DeVries added 13 points and six rebounds, while Garrett Sturtz added 14 points and three rebounds.

The Spiders are trying to snap a two-game losing streak

After beating Temple, the Spiders lost two straight games. With a win over the Bulldogs, they will win their second game in a row, ending their losing streak.

Richmond averages 67 points per game. In their last game, they made 40.4 percent of their field goals and 37.5 percent of their three-pointers.

The Spiders were led by Tyler Burton's 26 points and three rebounds. Isaiah Bigelow had five points and six rebounds, while Neal Quinn finished with 10 points and three rebounds.

Five of the Spiders' last eight games have ended in losses. They aren't very effective offensively and play poorly at home, where they average less than 65 points and make less than 43 percent of their shots and 30 percent of their three-pointers. In this game, don't expect them to get a lot of scoring opportunities due to their poor rebounding. A Drake team that holds opponents under 70 points per game will struggle to score against them. In their last nine games, the Bulldogs have won eight. Even on the road, where they average over 70 points, they are very good offensively. In addition to making more than 75 percent of their free throws, they have also taken advantage of their opportunities at the charity stripe. Don't expect them to give the Spiders a lot of easy scoring opportunities since they rebound well and protect the ball well. Despite playing well defensively, the Spiders have struggled against good offensive teams and will have difficulty slowing down the Bulldogs, so go with Drake.

Drake Highlights

With a power ranking of 120, Drake is ranked #141 in offense (scoring an average of 74.75 per game), #83 in defense (allowing an average of 64.38 points to be scored against them per game) and are 8-1 (3-5-1 ATS) this season.

Richmond Highlights

Richmond Spiders has a power ranking of 233 and are #292 for offense (scoring an average of 67.00 per game), #100 for defense (giving up an average of 64.38 points per game) and 3-5 (4-4 ATS) overall. Drake went 0-1 (1-0 ATS) in their last 3 matchups against Richmond.
