Dayton at Fordham picks and predictions
Prediction
Dayton 66, Fordham 59
Moneyline
Not available.
Against the spread
Fordham has not played a tough schedule, and its recent games against conference foes Davidson and Saint Joseph’s pale in comparison to how Dayton handled those teams.
The Rams rely on 3-points for much of their offense. Perimeter defense is a major strength for the Flyers. But this slow-pace UD squad has not fared well against the number when playing teams that operate in the fast lane.
Dayton by 6-to-8 seems right … just not profitable. PASS.
Over/Under
The Rams are 12-1 at home. The Under is 8-1 in the Flyers’ last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater-than-.600. The Under is 4-0 in Fordham’s last 4 games against winning teams. And the Under has hit in the last 4 series meetings.
Fordham’s paced has drifted downward since the start of conference play. UD has a couple down-the-rotation types possibly out with injury. Their points could be missed.
THE UNDER 129.5 (-105) is a solid play.
