Wagner vs. Fairleigh Dickinson Prediction

I’m on Fairleigh Dickinson here. I’m not loving the form of FDU after the back-to-back losses, but my problem here with Wagner is that the Seahawks at times can be far too reliant on their defense to get them by and get them over the hump. At a certain point, you have to be able to outscore your opponent and I just don’t trust Wagner’s offense to be able to do that. There’s really no shame in losing to Central Connecticut for me, even though giving up 87 points and getting blown out stings, but I still think the Knights at home are the more trustworthy side in this game. Give me Fairleigh Dickinson to defend home court and to bounce back at home.
