Army Black Knights Betting Preview

Army has had some major issues in the record column so far this year. The Black Knights started out well enough with a blowout win over SUNY-Maritime, then fell to St. Thomas MN in the next game. After another loss to Duke, Army fell versus Harvard, Cornell and Marist in succession. The result was a rough 1-5 run over the Black Knights’ first six outings of the season.

Fairleigh Dickinson Knights Betting Preview

Over on the Fairleigh Dickinson side, they’ve had similar troubles in the win column so far this season. The Knights lost to Iowa State in a blowout during the opener, then fell by 10 to Saint Peters’s. Another blowout loss was in the cards for game three against Texas, then came another double-digit defeat versus NJIT. Fairleigh Dickinson finally got a win in game five, taking out St. Elizabeth in a 100-58 outcome. That would give FDU a 1-4 run through the first five games of the year.

Back on Monday versus East Texas A&M, the Knights held a comfortable 38-24 edge at the break. Fairleigh Dickinson was outscored 46-27 the rest of the way however, resulting in a rough loss 70-65.

Army vs Fairleigh Dickinson Prediction

I’ll stick with Army I suppose. Realistically I’m probably not touching this one. There’s not a lot to get excited about here. In any case, the Black Knights didn’t look very good in their Monday loss, shooting just 39.3 percent from the field with a 31-26 deficit in rebounding. Army hasn’t been putting up great points totals lately; they’ve been below 68 in four of the last five, losing all of those games.

As for FDU, they had East Texas A&M on the ropes at halftime in their Monday matchup but ended up giving the game away in the second. Fairleigh Dickinson was just 9-of-16 (56.3 percent) from the line and had 20 turnovers along the way. The good news is that the team was pretty good statistically otherwise. The Knights have given up 70 or more points in each of their losses so far this year, and 88 or more in four of them. Army should have plenty of room to score in this one—if they can shoot better than they did Tuesday.
