Davidson vs. Fordham picks and predictions

Prediction

Davidson 66, Fordham 60

Moneyline

PASS.

Davidson (-178) has a good shot to win its 3rd game of the season against Fordham, but at this price, it doesn’t have much value in backing.

Against the spread

BET DAVIDSON -4.5 (-102).

The Wildcats have struggled as of late, but they have dominated Fordham this season and should continue to. They beat the Rams by 15 at home and by 10 on the road, covering as 6.5-point favorites and 3-point underdogs, respectively.

Davidson also has far more scoring with 4 players averaging over 12 points per game, while Fordham doesn’t have a single player topping 11.0 per game. Fordham has failed to cover in 7 of its last 12 and hasn’t rewarded betters often.

TAKE DAVIDSON -4.5 (-102).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 134.5 (-105).

If there’s something both teams have done lately, it is to go Under the projected total. The Rams have gone Under in 4 of their last 6 games, while the Wildcats have also cashed the Under in 4 of their last 6.

Neither team has a scorer that averages north of 13 points per game, so there isn’t much high-level scoring going on. Neither team has topped 71 points in its last 4 games either.

Expect a low-scoring, hard-nosed battle and BET UNDER 134.5 (-105).

Loyola-Chicago at Davidson picks and predictions

Prediction

Loyola-Chicago 70, Davidson 66

Moneyline

Loyola is on the better trendline and led the Feb. 4 meeting by 7 or more points the entire last 15 minutes. In comparison of a few recent comps for each side, the Ramblers have had more solid analytic measures, especially on offense.

Davidson is solid in defending the perimeter, but Loyola is more adept than the Wildcats in netting points in near proximity to the rim.

BACK THE RAMBLERS (-105).

Against the spread

The price on the point-and-a-half isn’t too attractive. Better relative value can be had on an outright play on Loyola. PASS.

Over/Under

The Over has cashed in 5 of the Ramblers’ last 7 games and in 4 of the team’s last 5 on the road.

The 1st meeting tilted to the Over 138 by 1 slim point. Expect enough turnover-transition play and volume of 3-pointers to make the OVER 135.5 (-110) a sliver of a lean in this one.

Davidson at Dayton picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 70, Davidson 61

Moneyline

The moneyline was OTB at the time of publication, but when it opens there will be no value on the home side. PASS and focus on the spread below.

Against the spread

The road team is 6-2-1 ATS across the last 9 meetings between these teams.

Peg this one for some subtle shooting and defense regressions on both sides and favoring the Davidson side of the equation. The Wildcats are quite good at protecting the basketball and they are also solid enough in rebounding, getting to the free-throw line and defending 3s.

Dayton is quite good, but a slower-than-average game yields more of an 8- or 9-point edge. BACK DAVIDSON +10.5 (-105).

Over/Under

The clash of paces gets us to a game flow producing 127-133 points or thereabouts. No room to operate with either side here. PASS.

March Madness: Davidson vs. Michigan State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Davidson vs. Michigan State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 10-seed Davidson Wildcats (27-6) and No. 7-seed Michigan State Spartans (22-12) clash in a West Region first-round tussle in the NCAA Championship Tournament Friday. Tip-off from Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, S.C., is slated for 9:40 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Davidson vs. Michigan State odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Davidson made the field despite falling to Richmond 64-62 in the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament final. The loss marked just the Wildcats’ fourth since Nov. 19. Davidson plays at a slow tempo but runs a highly efficient offense based around the 3-ball. Only five NCAA-I squads have posted a better mark from the perimeter than DU’s 38.4%.

Michigan State has struggled after going 14-2 to start the season. That 14-2 mark included nine straight wins from Dec. 1-Jan. 12, but the Spartans are just 8-10 since. Like its opponent in this game, MSU is also a strong 3-point-shooting team. The Spartans’ 37.8% mark on triples ranks second in the Big Ten.

Davidson vs. Michigan State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Davidson 68, Michigan State 66

Money line

Slow-down Davidson should be able to stay even with a Spartan five that sometimes struggles in half-court defense. The Wildcats have been at their best at the tail end of the season, and their shot here is legitimate.

BACK DAVIDSON (-103).

Against the spread

PASS.

Over/Under

The Under is 4-1 in Davidson’s last five NCAA Tournament games as an underdog, and it is 4-1 in MSU’s last five NCAA Tournament games.

The Spartans’ 3-point game has trailed off. The defensive rebounding in this one figures to be solid, and it isn’t likely the game turns into a lot of quick turnover/transition buckets.

TAKE THE UNDER 140.5 (-110).
