Fairfield vs Quinnipiac Prediction
Quinnipiac is simply the better team at home, where it is 7-1 SU on the season. Fairfield has been heading in the wrong direction with losses in seven of their last 10 games, and that includes a loss to Canisius as a double-digit favorite. Fairfield has scored 68 or fewer points in five of its last seven games and that’s just not going to get it done, especially on the road. While you can argue Quinnipiac isn’t a great team in its own right, this line has more to do with the form of Fa rifled. The Stags aren’t playing well. At home, this should be a comfortable with for Quinnipiac. I’ll lay the points.
