Dayton at Loyola-Chicago picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 66, Loyola-Chicago 61

Moneyline

AVOID.

If you like Loyola-Chicago, taking them on the spread poses the better value, especially considering how it has covered in losses lately.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

LEAN LOYOLA-CHICAGO +7.5 (-120).

The Ramblers are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 home and are 5-2 ATS over their last 7. Dayton is just 2-4 ATS as a road favorite as well, so it hasn’t thrived in this situation. The Ramblers also played a tied game and covered the 1st game between these 2 teams.

Considering their recent success and the Flyers’ struggles in this situation, back LOYOLA-CHICAGO +7.5 (-120).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 130.5 (-105).

The Ramblers have gone Under in 5 of their last 8 games. The Flyers have gone Under in 3 straight, having either been held or holding their opponent to under 60 in each of those games.

Dayton is 5-8 O/U in conference games as well. Loyola-Chicago is just 1-3 O/U as a home underdog as well. Put it all together and back the UNDER 130.5 (-105).

Saint Louis at Dayton picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 70, Saint Louis 62

Moneyline

PASS.

Even though Dayton is expected to secure the victory at home, taking the Flyers straight up at the current odds (-240) isn’t worth the risk or return.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

Following a fantastic road win over the top team in the conference in VCU on Tuesday, DAYTON -5.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning in this matchup. The Flyers are 12-1 at home this season.

The Billikens are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Meanwhile, the Flyers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600.

Over/Under

UNDER 136.5 (-110) is the play for the total with how formidable Dayton’s defense is. The Flyers are limiting opposing teams to only 61.4 points per game (15th in the nation), while they also average only 66.9 possessions per game (324th in the nation).

Saint Louis has gone Under in 6 of its 11 conference games. Meanwhile, Dayton is 7-5 to the Under in its 12 conference games.

Analyzing Tuesday’s Dayto at VCU odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dayton Flyers (15-9, 7-4 A-10) and VCU Rams (18-6, 9-2) clash in an Atlatic-10 Conference battle in Richmond Tuesday. Tip at the Stuart C. Siegel Center is at 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Dayton vs. VCU odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Dayton has run across a rough stretch that started at home with a 63-62 loss to these Rams on Jan. 13 as 7-point favorites. In going 3-3 in the 6 games since, the Flyers have been saddled with 3 against-the-spread (ATS) losses and 3 ATS margins in double digits.

Virginia Commonwealth is a robust 8-1 since Jan. 7. The Rams have yielded just 61.3 points per game over that span. They will be looking to raise their overall home mark to 13-2 on Tuesday

Dayton at VCU picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 65, VCU 62

Moneyline

DAYTON +150.

Dayton is just 1-5 against teams the the top 2 quadrants (VCU is 3-4). But the Flyers figure as better than their overall record and perhaps a little unlucky so far. A UD team that held foes to a 34.7% mark from the floor from Dec. 10-Jan. 10 is likely due some regression in its recent defensive numbers (46.3% allowed last 5 games).

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

The Flyers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against teams playing .600 basketball. In a revenge spot against the Rams, and for a little insurance, BACK THE FLYERS +3.5 (-105).

Over/Under

UD has exhibited better ball-handling of late and won’t allow as many transition buckets. Both sides can defend, and their 1st meeting hit the Under on a 130 total.

With what has happened since, the hope from a betting standpoint is that the total would be a shade higher here. This 1 is close to value on the Under side. Consider a line watch: take the Under if the number reaches 130.5. Otherwise, PASS.

Loyola-Chicago at Dayton odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Loyola-Chicago at Dayton odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers (7-13, 1-7 A-10) and Dayton Flyers (14-8, 6-3) will tangle in an Atlantic-10 Conference battle Tuesday. Tip at UD Arena is at 9 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Loyola-Chicago vs. Dayton odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Things have not gone well for Loyola-Chicago in its 1st season in the A-10. The former Missouri Valley Conference member has won just once in 8 A-10 games — 67-55 against St. Bonaventure on Jan. 21 in a solid defensive effort. The Ramblers had been ransacked for 82.6 points per game in 7 straight losses from Dec. 22-Jan. 18.

Dayton had lost 4 straight against the spread (ATS) until routing Richmond as a -9 favorite Saturday. The Flyers drained 14 triples in an 86-60 victory that ran their home mark this season to 11-1. UD plays a slow-down, efficient style of ball, and it smothers outside shooters. The Flyers have held foes to a 24.2% 3-point accuracy mark at UD Arena.

Loyola-Chicago at Dayton picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 72, Loyola-Chicago 60

Moneyline

Not available. but Dayton would be unplayable as an overwhelming favorite.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

UD has not played a lot of good offensive squads; peg its defense as being quite good but likely overrated by the betting public.

The Ramblers have been in several recent losses to a closer degree than what has shown up in final scores. The Flyers will likely have big edges in free-throw attempts and 2nd-chance points, but look for Loyola to do enough offensively to net a loss closer to the 8-to-12-point range.

BACK THE RAMBLERS +15.5 (-110).

Over/Under

A fair total in this slow-versus-slow tussle. PASS.

Dayton at Rhode Island odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Dayton at Rhode Island odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dayton Flyers (13-7, 5-2 Atlantic-10) take on the Rhode Island Rams (6-13, 2-5) Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Dayton vs. Rhode Island, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Dayton comes into this matchup after a disastrous 76-69 loss against George Washington on Saturday as 8.5-point favorites. With the 268th-ranked offense in the country (68.2 points per game), Dayton will rely on its elite defense to win this conference road game. Dayton ranks 10th in the nation allowing just 59.6 PPG.

The Rhode Island offense (66.9 points to rank 306th) does not pose many scoring challenges to the Flyers. There will be a lot of missed shots in this game as Dayton holds opponents to 38.1% from the field and the Rams rank 350th making just 39.9% of their shots. Expect a drag-out contest here as the Flyers look to get back on track against 1 of the worst teams in the Atlantic-10 Conference.

Dayton at Rhode Island picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 65, Rhode Island 53

Moneyline

PASS.

No wager on the line is worthwhile in this game. Dayton is fighting for the conference title while Rhode Island is in the A-10 cellar.

Despite the Rams being the home team, the chances for them to win is limited by their lack of offense and a stellar Dayton defense. But at over 4-1 odds, I will not make a wager on them here.

Against the spread

DAYTON -8.5 (-115).

Dayton’s defense will have a field day against a weak Rhode Island offense.

Shooting just 39.9% from the field, the Rams will find baskets difficult and Dayton will slowly pull away and hide in this game. It’s understandable if you are hesitant due to Dayton not covering the spread in any of its last 3 games, but do not bet on Rhode Island. Instead, just make a play on the total.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 130.5 (-110).

As we have stated, the Dayton defense is elite. Rhode Island, does not have an offense to overcome such a defense and it will struggle again here.

I do not expect the Rams to get to 60 in this game and I do not see Dayton getting to 70. This makes me hammer the Under 130.5 and I would take it down to 127.5 and feel comfortable.

Davidson at Dayton odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Davidson at Dayton odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Davidson Wildcats (9-9, 2-4 A 10) visit the Dayton Flyers (12-6, 4-1) Tuesday. The contest at UD Arena will tip off at 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Davidson vs. Dayton odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Davidson is 0-3 straight up (SU) and 1-2 against the spread over its last 3 games. In a slightly larger frame, the Wildcats are 1-4 SU across their last 5. That stretch began with a 69-55 home loss to these Flyers that they failed to cover as 4-point underdogs. Davidson is 0-6 SU and 0-5-1 ATS vs. Dayton dating back to 2018.

The Flyers are coming off a 63-62 home loss (as a 7-point favorite) to VCU Friday. F DaRon Holmes III was held to 13 points after averaging 25.7 points per game over his previous 7 contests. Friday’s loss marked Dayton’s 1st at UD Arena since Jan. 5, 2022.

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.

VCU at Dayton odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s VCU at Dayton odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The VCU Rams (12-5, 3-1 A-10) and Dayton Flyers (12-5, 4-0) lock horns and match wits in a mid-January battle for supremacy in the Atlantic-10 Conference. The opening tip at UD Arena will be at 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the VCU vs. Dayton odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Virginia Commonwealth is 7-1 over its last 8 games. VCU is coming off a straight-up and against-the-spread (-3.5) win over Loyola-Chicago Tuesday. The Rams got to the free-throw line a season-high 36 times in downing the Ramblers 78-64. VCU has attempted 30-plus foul shots 7 times this season and ranks 2nd in the nation in free-throw frequency.

The Flyers are 7-0 SU and ATS since Dec. 10. With a bottom-50 pace of play and top-15 defensive efficiency, Dayton has allowed just 53.9 points per game over that stretch. At home, UD is 9-0 this season.

VCU at Dayton picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 70, VCU 60

Moneyline

Look for Dayton to hammer out a comfortable win here, but avoid the extra juice in the ML play. PASS.

Against the spread

VCU is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 road games. The Rams are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against teams playing .600 ball. The favorite is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 series meetings.

VCU gives up too many looks in the paint, and Dayton has a big frontcourt that will take advantage. At the other end, UD is elite while being nearly as good at avoiding opponent free throws as the Rams are at drawing them. That may cut into VCU’s offense significantly and help the Flyers get by with a double-digit margin.

BACK THE FLYERS -7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Peg the Flyers as prevailing in a clash of pace styles. And the score-spiral factors are mostly neutral here. An Under would be a lean if the total here were in the low-130s. With the figure where it is, STEER CLEAR.

Dayton at Fordham odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Dayton at Fordham odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dayton Flyers (11-5, 3-0 A-10) and Fordham Rams (13-3, 1-2) tussle in a Tuesday night Atlantic-10 contest in the Bronx. The opening tip at Rose Hill Gymnasium will be at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Dayton vs. Fordham odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Since Dec. 7, Dayton is 6-0 straight up and 6-0 against the spread (ATS). On the ATS side, 4 of those recent wins have been by double-digit margins. For the season, the Flyers are yielding just 58.4 points per game (10th NCAA-I).

The Rams are coming off a Saturday triumph over Saint Joseph’s, and the 66-54 win as a -4 favorite snapped a 4-game ATS losing streak. Fordham plays at a top-quartile pace, but still plays solid defense. The Rams’ 67.0 PPG allowed ranks 4th in the A-10.

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.

The Flyers also played on Saturday, beating Davidson 69-55 and covering a 4-point spread. A staunch UD defense held an opponent under 40% from the floor (36.8%) for a 10th time this season, and F DaRon Holmes II tallied 32 points in the road triumph.

Saint Joseph’s at Dayton picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 72, Saint Joseph’s 58

Moneyline

PASS. Nothing to see here.

Against the spread

PASS.

Dayton is a clear favorite here, but there is no value in going over 12.5 points. There isn’t enough coming back the other way either (would want 16-plus), so let’s investigate the O/U action.

Over/Under

This game features fast-paced SJU against turtle-tempo UD. And even with Dayton’s well-known pace, the Under has thus far gone 9-6 in Flyers games.

When St. Joe’s plays slower teams, the Under has prevailed. Dayton often has loose handles on the ball for a quality team, so there is the threat of some transition triples building up for the visitors. But UD has a top-10 perimeter defense — allowing a mere 26.9% accuracy mark — and the Hawks playing a road game for the 1st time in weeks could create some struggles in that area.

BACK THE UNDER 133.5 (-110).

Dayton vs. Wisconsin odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Dayton vs. Wisconsin odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dayton Flyers (3-1) and Wisconsin Badgers (3-0) meet in Nassau, Bahamas, in a 1st-round game of the Bad Boy Mowers Battle 4 Atlantis. The opening tip at Imperial Arena will be at 2:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Dayton vs. Wisconsin odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Dayton heads into this event off a home win Saturday. The Flyers did not cover a 21-point spread, but they did defeat Robert Morris 60-51 in what was a bounce-back game after a 60-52 loss at UNLV Nov. 15. Dayton is just 1-3 against the spread.

Wisconsin has not played since Nov. 15. The Badgers have not shot the ball particularly well so far, but they’ve managed 3 straight wins on the strength of a defense holding opposing teams to a 37.2% mark from the field.

Dayton vs. Wisconsin picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 63, Wisconsin 58

Moneyline

Off the board.

Against the spread

The Flyers catch a Badger five away from home for the 1st time. and Wisconsin is not a type of defense to force a lot of turnovers. That latter point frees up a turnover-prone Dayton squad to be at its best.

Dayton went 3-2 in Quadrant 1 games last season. That included a neutral-site takedown of the 4th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks last Nov. The Flyers are exceptional near the hoop, they have an advantage in getting to the line in this match-up, and — with a more veteran roster — they are the likable side in this business trip to the Bahamas.

TAKE DAYTON -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Dayton plays a very slow style of ball; Wisconsin goes a few clicks faster but is still a below-average squad in terms of pace. The Under has gone 3-1 in UD’s games and has registered a double-digit margin in each of the hits.

Both sides defend looks, especially from distance, and 2nd-chance baskets likely land on the low side.

Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 123.5 (-115). An evenly-priced figure of 124 or better makes for a full play.
