Davidson vs Dayton Prediction
Dayton is the more talented team, has owned Davidson over the years, and is 12-1 SU at home. A lot is pointing toward Dayton in a blowout. The problem is Dayton has fallen off over the last few weeks and can’t be trusted with big numbers. In fact Dayton is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games. Davidson has found ways to win here and there, and close losses to George Mason, Rhode Island, and La Salle suggest the Wildcats could be in an even better spot. A bounce here or there and Davidson has a better record and is a sneaky contender in the A10. I wouldn’t be surprised if Davidson gives Dayton a scare. Give me the points.
