Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole Denver vs. SIU Edwardsville game that’s coming up. It’s been a bit of a rabbit hole, but a fun one!

First off, I started by just checking out what the general vibe was. You know, who’s the favorite, what are people saying, that kind of thing. Turns out, most sources are pointing towards SIU Edwardsville as the likely winner. They’re the home team, and they’re favored to win, which makes sense.
Then I dug a little deeper into the betting odds. This is where it gets a little more interesting. I found out that SIU Edwardsville has -155 odds on the moneyline. Honestly, I had to refresh my memory on what all that means, but basically, it’s saying that they’re pretty heavily favored.
After that, I looked at some predictions from different sources. I stumbled upon this thing called numberFire, which does all these fancy calculations for college basketball games. And guess what? They’re also predicting SIU Edwardsville to win. So, the data seems to be lining up with the general consensus.
- Checked out general predictions: SIU Edwardsville favored.
- Looked at betting odds: SIU Edwardsville -155 on the moneyline.
- Found numberFire predictions: Also agree with SIU Edwardsville winning.
I also found out some more basic stuff. Like, the game is on Thursday, November 16th. Denver is considered the underdog, which isn’t too surprising given everything else I found.
My final thought?

It looks like SIU Edwardsville is in a pretty good spot to win this one. Of course, anything can happen in sports, but based on what I’ve seen, they seem like the safer bet. I wouldn’t put my life savings on it, but I will say they are probably going to win. I spent all night looking into this stuff, and I am pretty convinced.
This was a fun little project. It’s always interesting to see how these predictions are made and how the odds work. It’s like a little puzzle, and who doesn’t love a good puzzle, right?
