NC Dinos vs SSG Landers 5/4/24 Pick: NC Dinos
NC has a massive offensive showing in their last game and in most cases a team tends to have a drop off of the offensive side after a huge showing. While I do see that happening in this game here, I do not see the Dinos dropping off enough to lose the game. I actually see the Landers team doing well and keeping this game close to maybe a 1 run game, so the +1.5 could be a good bet on the run line. If you are looking for a money line bet I still like the Dinos to win in this game here with a strong showing from the rookie.
