Against the spread

BET SIENA -4.5 (-115).

The Saints have been playing well recently with a 8-2 record in their last 10, while also going 8-2 ATS in that span. They’ve played OK on the road, posting a 6-4 straight-up (SU) and ATS record.

The favorite is 12-5-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings between these 2 schools.

Expect the Saints defense to overwhelm the Jaspers offense, which has struggled a lot this season.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 134.5 (-105).

The Under is 5-0 in the Saints’ last 5 games, 6-0 in their last 6 road games against a team with a losing home record and 6-1 in their last 7 against a team with a losing outright record.

With 2 lackadaisical offenses, points will be at a premium making UNDER 134.5 (-105) the best play.

Manhattan at Niagara odds, picks and predictions

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

The Manhattan Jaspers (6-12, 4-5 MAAC) and Niagara Purple Eagles (10-9, 5-5) meet Friday in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game. Tip at Gallagher Center in Niagara Falls is at 7 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manhattan vs. Niagara odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Manhattan is coming off 67-65 loss at Rider on Sunday as an 8-point underdog, and the Jaspers have won 4 in a row against the spread (ATS). Manhattan held the Broncs to a 2-of-10 mark on 3-pointers. Over their last 5 games, the Jaspers have held 3-point-shooters to a 29.1% mark.

The Purple Eagles play at 1 of the slowest tempos in NCAA-I, and tend to play in a lot of close games. Niagara is 1-4 in its last 5 games, and all 5 were decided by 6 points or less. Rebounding has been a problem area as the Eagles have outrebounded only 1 opponent in the last 10 games.

Manhattan at Niagara picks and predictions

Prediction

Niagara 68, Manhattan 62

Moneyline

Not available at the time of publication.

Against the spread

Manhattan beat Niagara 64-59 on Jan. 8 as a 3.5-point underdog at home as the Under cashed. The Eagles led for the better part of 25 minutes, but eventually fell. This time around, look for the Eagles to outpace the Jaspers from beyond the arc and come through by 2-to-3 scores in this revenge spot.

Peg a slight lean on Niagara, but its not an actionable lean unless the spread were to drop to 4.5 or less. PASS.

Over/Under

Niagara is 4-2 at home. The Over is 9-2 in the Jaspers’ last 11 road games against teams winning 60% of their games at home.

Both teams have schedules that have had them facing slightly tougher defensive teams. And both have been trending the right way in their offensive efficiency numbers.

TAKE THE OVER 127.5 (-105).

Manhattan at Saint Peter’s odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Manhattan at Saint Peter’s odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Manhattan Jaspers (4-7, 2-0 Metro Atlantic Athletic) and Saint Peter’s Peacocks (6-6, 1-2) tangle Friday in Jersey City, N.J. Tip at the Yanitelli Center will be at 2 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manhattan vs. St. Peter’s odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Manhattan is coming off a 10-day layoff. The Jaspers snapped a 4-game losing streak in their last game — an 80-69 win over Marist on Dec. 19 as a +3.5 underdog. The MU defense has struggled, allowing 73.5 points per game (10th of 11 teams in the MAAC).

The Peacocks are returning to the hardwood after a week off. Saint Peter’s was a straight-up loser at Maryland on Dec. 22 as a 22.5-point underdog 75-45. SPU shot just 30.4% from the floor against the Terrapins, and those struggles are part of a larger trend. The Peacocks are 2-4, shooting just 34.6% from the field, in their last 6 games.

Manhattan at St. Peter’s odds

Provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated at 120:01 a.m. ET.

Moneyline: Off the board
Against the spread (ATS): Manhattan +5.5 (+110) | Saint Peter’s -5.5 (-110)
Over/Under (O/U): 131.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Manhattan at St. Peter’s picks and predictions

Prediction

St. Peter’s 70, Manhattan 64

Moneyline

Not available.

Against the spread

The Peacocks are 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 home games.

Saint Peter’s has a youthful roster, and its minutes have been widely dispersed thus far. A week off may well have been what SPU shooters needed for a mid-season correction. Manhattan’s defense and a home date present a golden opportunity to close out the calendar year on a high note.

In this series, the favorite is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings. SAINT PETER’S -5.5 (-110) is the value play.

Over/Under

The match-up presents a mid-to-slow profile. But some shooting regression (helping SPU’s offense) and the likelihood of some transition upside for MU and 2nd-chance strength for SPU make the Over worth a watch.

BET OVER 131.5 (-110).

Manhattan at Farleigh Dickinson odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Manhattan at Fairleigh Dickinson odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Manhattan Jaspers (0-1) travel through the Holland Tunnel to Teaneck, N.J., to take on the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights (1-1) Sunday at 5 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manhattan vs. Fairleigh Dickinson odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Jaspers come into this game after opening their season with a 73-56 loss to Virginia Commonwealth on Monday night. While losing the game, Manhattan was able to keep the game inside the 22.5 spread and it will have an easier time on Sunday against an opponent not up to the same level of competition as VCU.

The Knights come in after an 88-82 loss to Loyola-Illinois and a decisive 106-66 win over Mercy College. The Knights can score, but the defense is lacking which will make this an interesting early season league game in the Metro Atlantic.

Manhattan at Fairleigh Dickinson picks and predictions

Prediction

Fairleigh Dickinson 80, Manhattan 75

Moneyline

BET FAIRLEIGH DICKINSON -135.

These 2 teams are evenly matched. This is evident by the spread and ML being so close and flipping back and forth. But the Knights are at home, and they have had 2 games to get ready for this game.

The final game between these 2 last season was a 66-62 victory by the Knights and another win should be coming on Sunday.

Against the spread

PASS.

Fairleigh Dickinson was the underdog and now they’re the favorite. But they should win outright. Therefore, instead of taking the ATS, save the juice and take the Knights’ ML.

Over/Under

BET OVER 145.5 (-108).

Although these teams kept the games low scoring in 2021, at least 1 of these teams will hit 80 points in what will be a close game. With 1 of them hitting the 80 mark and they other soaring past 70, I like the Over 145.5 (-108) as my favorite play.

MAAC Tournament: Rider vs. Manhattan odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Rider vs. Manhattan odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The ninth-seeded Rider Broncs (12-18) and No. 8 seed Manhattan Jaspers (15-14) clash Tuesday in the opening round of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament. The contest at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., is slated to tip off at 5 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Rider vs. Manhattan odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rider went 8-12 across 20 MAAC contests this winter. The Broncs have been capable on defense but have struggled offensively through more than a few stretches. Of late, RU has played in numerous close games. One of those was an overtime loss against this Manhattan squad Feb. 20. Manhattan and Rider split their two regular-season meetings, each winning at home.

The Jaspers play a lot of high-turnover, up-and-down games. They’ve struggled in shooting the ball lately (35.5% last four games) and enter the MAAC bracket having lost three of their last four. Manhattan is led by senior G Jose Perez, who is the league’s top scorer at 18.8 points per game.

Rider vs. Manhattan odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Manhattan 72, Rider 67

Money line

Look for the Jaspers’ shooting to come around, and their defense has been quietly improved over recent games. this senior-laden Manhattan squad also sports an uncanny ability to get to the charity stripe. In their Feb. 20 win over Rider, the Jaspers outscored the Broncs 19-8 at the line. In its last 10 games, Manhattan has managed 22-plus throws seven times.

TAKE THE JASPERS (-108).

Against the spread

PASS. Peg the Manhattan ML play as having the best leverage as a side.

Over/Under

The Over hit in both regular-season meetings and is 4-0 across the last four meetings between these MAAC foes.

Neither hits many 3s, but other score-in-bunches areas do have some tilt toward a higher score. BACK THE OVER 137.5 (-112).
