Rider vs Quinnipiac Prediction
The Rider Broncs have six road wins this season, so there’s reason to consider the points. I just can’t pull the trigger with a Rider squad that’s 3-7 SU and ATS in its last 10 games. Rider has fallen off a cliff defensively, and some of those losses have even come in the favorite role. The Quinnipiac Bobcats are 6-1 SU at home, and they’ve covered five of their last seven games. The Quinnipiac Bobcats also beat Rider last month by five points on the road in a game that was considered a pick em. A big number, but Rider is heading in the wrong direction. If Quinnipiac is going to continue to chip away in the MAAC as a sneaky contender, this is a must-win. I’ll lay the points with the Bobcats.
