Fairleigh Dickinson at Manhattan picks and predictions
Prediction
Manhattan 79, Fairleigh Dickinson 74
Moneyline
While neither team inspires confidence in backing them, I'll side with MANHATTAN (-125) at home. The Jaspers are 2-0 at home, and the Knights are 2-4 on the road this season.
Even though we're taking Manhattan to win, I wouldn't bet on them straight up at anything worse than -125 odds.
Against the spread
MANHATTAN -1.5 (-110) has better value than wagering on the moneyline as we only need the Jaspers to win by at least 2 points to cover the spread. The Jaspers are 1-0 ATS at home, while the Knights are 2-4 ATS on the road this season.

Over/Under
OVER 152.5 (-110) is the lean in this contest with the Over hitting in each of the last 2 meetings. The Knights are 4-2 to the Over in their last 6 games overall.
Meanwhile, the Jaspers are 3-1 to the Over in their last 4 games overall. Both teams are allowing an average of 76.9 points per game or more, and this game is expected to be close, which should help the Over hit.
