Appalachian State vs. Norfolk State
BET: 🔥 Norfolk State (+3) to cover with FanDuel Sportsbook
📈 57.0% probability
Defense will be the key in this NCAA First four game between Norfolk State and Appalachian State. App. State pulled themselves out of a bad spot of form in recent weeks to give them hope of advancing to the tournament proper, but our data has Norfolk covering the spread in this one and keeping it close. Their strength is their perimeter defense while App State's strength is their perimeter shooting. We're banking on the clash of styles to go Norfolk's way.
