Siena vs Quinnipiac Prediction
The Quinnipiac Bobcats are getting the nod from oddsmakers because they're at home, where they're 4-1 SU. The bottom line is neither Siena nor Quinnipiac is a good team, and I'm not excited to back either in the favorite role. If anything, Quinnipiac is 5-9 ATS on the season and Siena is 9-6 ATS on the season. Also, the Siena Saints have three road wins this season, so this isn't a spot they're going to be intimidated. Seina beat Cornell as a double-digit underdog. Siena also beat Bucknell as an underdog earlier in the season. There are better options out there, but if forced to pick, give me Siena and the free points. The Quinnipiac Bobcats aren't anything special and could easily lose this game outright given their offense that shoots under 40 percent from the field.
