Our Prediction: Many are circling this game as a potential double-digit seed upset in their bracket. Loyola comes in on a 10-game win streak and the Ramblers are a team that has won at Florida earlier this year. These two teams have similar attributes, with both being defensive-minded. While I don’t necessarily want to jump on a bandwagon, I do like Loyola in this one. I think the Ramblers can keep this game low scoring and give themselves a chance late. What really stands out for me is the Ramblers’ 19-9-1 record against the spread this season and 12-4-1 mark ATS away from home.

Miami vs. Loyola Prediction: +2
