Portland vs Northern Colorado on 2025-11-22

💰 Best Bet #1 Portland / Spread / +3.5 at -109 / 58% / Portland’s seven straight home wins and defensive rebounding edge (45% rate in early season) provide cover value against Northern Colorado’s turnover-prone offense (top 300 in TO%).

💰 Best Bet #2 Over / Total / 155.5 at -110 / 62% / Both teams play high-tempo games (Portland 72 possessions per game, Northern Colorado 70), with sloppy ball handling leading to transition points; recent trends show overs in 4 of Portland’s last 5 and Northern Colorado’s last 6.

💰 Best Bet #3 Northern Colorado / Moneyline / -160 / 64% / Northern Colorado’s superior adjusted efficiency (KenPom rank 180 vs Portland’s 220) and road success against mid-majors justify the favorite status in this early-season matchup.

Simulation Results
A 10,000-game Monte Carlo simulation was run using current 2025 season data: Portland’s adjusted offensive efficiency (102.5), defensive efficiency (105.0), tempo (72), and Northern Colorado’s (104.2 off, 103.8 def, tempo 70). Incorporated home advantage (+3 points for Portland), turnover rates (Portland 18%, Northern Colorado 22%), rebounding differentials, and variance from early-season games. Poisson distribution modeled scoring with random variance for fouls, 3PT shooting (Portland 34%, Northern Colorado 36%), and free throws.
