Fairfield vs Manhattan Prediction
The Fairfield Stags have lost seven of their last nine games, and their defense continues to let them down. Fairfield is allowing over 48 percent shooting on the season and has allowed 75 or more points in five of its last 10 games. The Manhattan Jaspers play with a pace that could give Fairfield trouble, and they’ve covered five of their last seven games. The Fairfield Stags haven’t had much success on the road this season, and defensive issues usually don’t fix themselves on the road either. While the underdog has covered seven of the last eight games between Fairfield and Manhattan, the line is reasonable to side with the home team. I’ll lay the points with the Manhattan Jaspers.
