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).

Fordham vs. Dayton picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 70, Fordham 65

Moneyline

Dayton (-270) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not enough reward. Even if you include the Flyers in a multi-team parlay, they would suck all the value out of the ticket.

AVOID.

Against the spread

FORDHAM +6.5 (-110) was atrocious in the only regular-season meeting between these teams, but the longtime A-10 doormat Rams have played great basketball recently.

The Rams are 11-4 ATS in their past 15 games overall while going 5-2 ATS in their last 7 against teams with a winning overall record. Fordham is also 9-2 ATS in the past 11 neutral-site games.

Dayton is just 1-3 ATS in the past 4 games overall and 1-6 ATS in the past 7 neutral-site games. The Flyers should still win, but a one-possession game wouldn’t be shocking.

Over/Under

OVER 130.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over is 6-2 in the last 8 games for Fordham, but the Under is 8-1 in the past 9 games for Dayton. The Over is 12-5 in the past 17 neutral-site games for the Flyers though, and the total did go high in the only regular-season meeting between these teams.

La Salle vs. Fordham picks and predictions

Prediction

La Salle 72, Fordham 69

Moneyline

Fordham is a good defensive team that does well to get chances at the free-throw line. But the perhaps-rusty Rams figure to be tested to the hilt in this game. La Salle is likable against the number, and some bettors on that action may want to go in for a partial-unit play here as well.

La Salle is coming off 2 fine games and usually plays better against faster teams (which the Rams are).

TAKE THE EXPLORERS (+205).

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

Against the spread

The Rams won their regular-season finale 87-60; they are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight-up win of more-than-20 points.

That last Fordham game was on March 4. This season, the Rams have gone 2-4 ATS in games on 4-plus days of rest.

La Salle played a much tougher schedule during the season. Its a streaky team on a 2-game streak. While the moneyline is a better value, fora little insurance TAKE THE EXPLORERS +6.5 (-115).

Over/Under

For a faster-than-average game at a neutral venue, this total fits. STEER CLEAR.

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.

Saint Louis at Fordham odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Saturday’s Saint Louis Billikens at Fordham Rams odds and lines, with college basketball betting picks, tips and predictions.

In Saturday’s college hardwood action, the Saint Louis Billikens (9-3, 2-2 A-10) take on the Fordham Rams (2-10, 2-10) at Rose Hill Gymnasium in the Bronx, N.Y. Tip-off is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Saint Louis-Fordham college basketball odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Saint Louis at Fordham: Odds, spread and lines

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 6:43 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Saint Louis -3000 (bet $3,000 to win $100) | Fordham +1250 (bet $100 to win $1,250)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Saint Louis -16.5 (-110) | Fordham +16.5 (-110)
  • Over/Under: 127.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Saint Louis at Fordham: Three things to know

  1. The Billikens have won nine of 10 games at home this season, but they’re 0-2 SU/ATS on the road. Saint Louis was favored in each of the two road outings, including an 82-75 loss at La Salle as a 12.5-point favorite Feb. 3. Saint Louis is 1-5 ATS in the past six overall.
  2. Fordham won its most recent home game, topping La Salle 76-68 as a 5.5-point underdog Feb. 6. The Rams are 2-3 SU/ATS in the past five games at home. They’re also a respectable 4-2 ATS in the past six, and 5-1 ATS in the past six as double-digit underdogs.
  3. These teams met last season Jan. 26, 2020 with the Billikens coming away with a 55-39 win as 14.5-point favorites. The Under (119) easily connected that day.

Saint Louis at Fordham: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saint Louis 68, Fordham 54

Money line (ML)

Saint Louis (-3000) has had two road games to date, losing both despite being the favorite each time. It’s a rather small sample size, but you can’t lay 30 times your potential return with a history like that. AVOID.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

FORDHAM +16.5 (-110) is a tough sell. The Rams have really struggled, not only this season, but for the better part of the past three decades. Fordham has won 13 or fewer games in a season 24 times in the past 28 campaigns. So, taking the Rams plus the points is really hard to do, but the way Saint Louis has played on the road, plus Fordham’s success as a double-digit dog makes the Rams the play here.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 127.5 (-110) is the lean here as Fordham has really struggled to score the basketball. The Rams rank 347th in the nation with 53.0 points per game. The good news is that the Rams are decent defensively, allowing 67.6 PPG. We should have another low-scoring game in this series.
