SMU is 5-1 against the spread in its last six home games and is 4-1 against the number in its last five games as a home favorite, but I’m going to buck those trends and back the Shockers. Wichita State has covered in 10 of its last 12 games when listed as an underdog and is 3-1-1 against the spread in its last five games overall. The Shockers are also an impressive 14-6-1 against the number in their last 21 road games and for one reason or another, they’ve been profitable on Sundays, going 34-15-2 at the window in their last 51 games playing on this day.
