Fairleigh Dickinson vs NJIT Prediction
We should learn more about Fairleigh Dickinson in this spot, as it hasn’t had a chance to play a realistic opponent yet. However, Fairleigh Dickinson wasn’t winning or covering numbers last year either, so excuse me if I’m not running to the window to back this team. NJIT is clearly better than expected, as it beat Fordham and Loyola MD as double-digit favorites. If NJIT can accomplish that, it can take care of Fairleigh Dickinson at home. Give me NJIT at home and whatever the line is.
