Dayton vs Duquesne Prediction

The Dayton Flyers are the more talented team and should be favored, but they’ve fallen off a cliff over the last month. Dayton has also failed to cover each of its last seven games. Dayton has lost to George Mason, UMass, and George Washington as big favorites. The Duquesne Dukes have seen six of their nine wins come at home, and they’ve covered seven of their last nine games. Duquesne is coming off upset wins over Saint Joseph’s, George Washington, and St. Bonaventure. Given Dayton’s current form, an outright loss in this spot wouldn’t be shocking. This isn’t the same Dayton team we saw earlier in the season. I’ll grab the points with the Duquesne Dukes.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Duquesne +3.5
