LOYOLA-CHICAGO +5 - Now don?t get me wrong, as I really like this Butler team a lot and think they have the ability to beat some high-profile teams come NCAA Tournament time. However, I think that this is a dangerous spot for them, giving 5 points on the road. The Ramblers of Loyola may be just 10-14 overall, but they are 6-2 S/U and a perfect 6-0 ATS here at home this season, winning their home games by an average of 8.5 points. They are also 4-2 ATS in the last 6 meetings with the Bulldogs, including an outright 60-56 upset as 8-point underdogs in this arena last year. Yes, Butler is 18-3 overall, but all 3 of those losses came on the road, and they have all come within their last 6 road affairs, where they are just 3-3 with a tiny AMOV of +0.3 points.
