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.
