Marist vs Quinnipiac Prediction

The home team won the first two meetings and Quinnipiac has covered just 2 of its last 10 games. However, Marist isn’t in great form, losing to Saint Peter’s, Siena, and Fairfield as a favorite over the last month. With the small line, we’re not asking for miracles from Quinnipiac and its defensive effort and pace are probably the difference in this spot. Marist is a well below average offensive side, so even fewer possessions probably isn’t the move here. I’ll lay the small number with Quinnipiac.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Quinnipiac -1.5
