Furman vs. Belmont Prediction and Odds: Paladins Bank on Points

Furman scored one of the most impressive wins of the first week this season, knocking off Louisville on the road in overtime.

Now, the Paladins must keep it up with another stiff road challenge against Belmont. The Bruins retrun a host of contributors from the team's 26-4 squad in 2020-2021, but were knocked off on the road against Ohio last week. Can they respond against another mid-major foe?

Here are the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook.

Furman vs. Belmont Prediction and Pick

These are two of the best mid-major teams in the country, plain and simple.

.While I'm a bit concerned about the Paladins in a let down spot after pulling off an upset against an ACC foe in overtime, I believe they have the offensive potency to hang with the Bruins on the road. Furman brings back a veteran crew that has shot making all over. Last season, the team had the fourth highest effective field goal percentage and gashed Louisville to the tune of 42% from beyond the arc on Friday night.

Belmont also has a strong offense, top 10 in effective field goal percentage last season, and plays fast with the 34th highest tempo in the onset of the season. I expect the game to be played at Belmont's pace with Furman interested in running after being at an athletic disadvantage against Louisville on Friday. The team was deliberate on offense, taking advantage of a relatively green Louisville defense late in the shot clock. This will feature a different game script.

Both teams can score at will and want to run, the perfect recipe for an over.

PICK: OVER 151
