Fordham Rams Betting Preview

The Fordham Rams are 0-1 this year after they lost to St. John’s by a score of 92-60 in their first game. Fordham trailed 40-26 at halftime and allowed 52 points in the second half for the blowout loss. The Rams shot 36.4% from the field, 34.8% on three-pointers, and 60% on free throws in the game.

Seton Hall Pirates Betting Preview

Seton Hall led 32-27 at halftime and they were able to get the win, despite only scoring 25 points in the second half.

Why Seton Hall will cover

  • Fordham has lost five of its last six games.
  • Seton Hall has won the first half in 11 of its last 13 games against non-conference opponents at Walsh Gymnasium.

Fordham vs Seton Hall Prediction 

Seton Hall comes into this matchup after picking up a win in their first game, but it wasn’t pretty and they struggled to put St. Peter’s away. The Pirates were out-rebounded in that game and only scored 25 points in the second half, so they need to bounce back with a much better effort here. Fordham was destroyed by St. John’s in their first game, but I think they can hang with Seton Hall here. I can’t back the Pirates with how they closed their first game, so give me Fordham and the points in this game.
