Canisius is 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss. The under is 4-0 in Canisius’ last 4 games. Rider is 5-13-1 ATS in their last 19 games and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games. The under is 7-2 in Rider’s last 9 home games. The road team is 8-1-1 ATS in these two teams last 10 head to head meetings.
Rider comes into this game in last place of the MAAC standings, while Canisius is sitting three spots higher. Neither team is very good, but they are similar in shooting percentage and rebounding. Canisius logged a one-point victory against Rider just a few games ago, 70-69. Rider has struggled against the spread at home in recent games, but I like them to bounce back here.
