Manhattan vs Fairleigh Dickinson Prediction

The Manhattan Jaspers are probably the better team in terms of talent, but they haven’t shot the ball well, and it’s hard to lay points with them on the road because of it. The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights are battle-tested after games against Creighton and Nebraska, and that should do wonders for them coming back home. Fairleigh Dickinson covered both of those games as well. Manhattan is getting too much respect with this line. Give me the Fairleigh Dickinson Knights and the points.
