Manhattan at Farleigh Dickinson odds, picks and predictions
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.
