Fordham vs. Manhattan Recap

I’m on Fordham here. I just can’t trust Manhattan in this spot, as the Jaspers have not really shown me much to think that this is a completely different team than the one that struggled their way through last year. The Rams have a solid lineup, and I think that Fordham wins this one going away by double digits. Give me the Rams laying the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Fordham -8.5
