Iona Gaels vs Marist Red Foxes prediction
The Iona Gaels are on a bad losing streak where the defense has fallen off a cliff and I doubt things change on the road where they're 4-7 SU. The Marist Red Foxes are 8-3 SU at home, and they're playing their best ball of the season right now. Marist beat Iona back in November and has covered 6 of the last 9 meetings against the Gaels. The Marist Red Foxes are also 16-10 ATS on the season, while Iona is 12-16 ATS. There's a lot pointing toward the home team. We're not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me Marist and the small chalk.
