Dayton at La Salle picks and predictions
Prediction
Dayton 75, La Salle 64
Moneyline
Dayton (-430) will cost you more than 4 times your potential return, and that's way too much risk for not enough reward, especially for a road team. The Flyers have won 12 in a row, but 2 of the past 4 wins have been by 5 or fewer points.
However, La Salle (+330) cannot be trusted, either, as it has lost 3 in a row, and 5 of the past 6 games. While the Explorers have won 2 of the past 3 in the series, the Flyers are having a special season and don't seem primed for an upset.
PASS.
Against the spread
DAYTON -9.5 (-102) is worth a look laying the points, as La Salle +9.5 (-120) has covered just once in the past 6 games. Just go lightly.
The Flyers have played 4 true road games so far, and they're 4-0 ATS. And Dayton has covered 5 of the past 8 games overall.
The Explorers have failed to cover 6 in a row at home after opening the season 2-0-1 ATS in the 1st 3 on its home hardwood. La Salle's last cover at home was Nov. 14 against Bucknell, so it's been more than 2 full calendar months.

The total has gone low in 3 in a row for La Salle, while cashing the Under in 7 of the past 9 games overall. At home, the Explorers have hit the Under in 4 in a row, too.
For the Flyers, the Under has hit in 4 of the past 5 games since a 4-0 run to the Over from Dec. 9-30. The Under has cashed in each of the past 3 games on the road for Dayton, too. And the Under is 8-2 in the past 10 meetings, too.
