Dayton vs Fordham Prediction 

Dayton comes into this matchup after falling apart late in the second half against VCU in their last game and they will be on the road for this game. The Flyers are just 6-5 in conference play and they have struggled way more than anyone thought they would. Dayton is shooting 46.3% from the field this year, but they have scored fewer than 70 points in three of their last four. Fordham is just 3-7 in the A-10 so far this season, but they have won three of their last five games. The Rams are shooting 42.9% from the field this year, but they have scored 80+ points in two of their last three. I don’t really trust Fordham, but I do think they have a chance to win this game with the way Dayton has played in the last two months. Take the points with Fordham here.
