In this Saint Louis vs Dayton Prediction, Saint Louis is coming as -5.5 road favorites. Saint Louis has been the better team this season and have a better ATS record. They have been red-hot lately with a 9-1 record in their last 10 games but Dayton has also been in good form with a 4-1 record in its last 5 games. Dayton has been below average against the spread at home and weaker than their opponents both on the offensive and the defensive end, as Saint Louis has a dominating +22 point differential and I expect them to get the job done on the road and cover the spread in this one.
