Fordham vs Iona Prediction 

Fordham comes into this matchup after barely escaping with a win over Wagner and they have had some issues this year, as they also have a loss to NJIT. The Rams have played decent defense to start this season, but they have scored just 63 and 61 points in their two D1 games. Iona is undefeated to start their season and they are shooting over 51% from the field. The Gaels don’t play great defense, but they are scoring 93 points per game. Take Iona to get the win and cover here.
