Winthrop vs. Longwood Prediction and Pick

The opening line of 141.5 is already gone, as some sportsbooks have already leapt to 143.5. Fortunately for those who have WynnBET, they can still find the number at just 142.5.

Neither team has made a whole lot of commitment to the defensive side of the ball as of late. Longwood, who ranked in the 86th percentile this season for defensive rating is down to 67th (97 to 100.1) over its last five games. Meanwhile, Winthrop has remained consistent on defensive issues, ranking in the 51st percentile over its last five and just 54th percentile on the season.

Each team will play to their strengths on Championship Sunday, with plenty of open looks to let this over soar.
