Fordham vs. Davidson Pick and Preview
Spread Pick for Fordham vs. Davidson
- Wildcats -5.5 (5 Units)
Betting Trends: Fordham is 1-4 ATS in its previous five games this season and is 1-4 ATS in its last five games against Davidson.
This Atlantic 10 matchup is an intriguing one. The Rams will dominate on the glass (ranked 14th in offensive rebounds per game), boxing out for second-chance scoring opportunities, while the Wildcats will let it fly from behind the three-point line (28th in 3PT%). While the visitors will easily win the rebounding battle, they aren't nearly as efficient offensively as the home team, so I'm skeptical they can make the most of their extra shot attempts. They also rarely get to the foul line (352nd in free-throw attempt rate), and shoot just 68.4 percent when they get there. Davidson is likely to shoot the lights out from long range against Fordham (249th in opponent 3PT%), and will step into plenty of open mid-range jumpers (68th in mid-range FG%) when the Rams defenders close out too fast.
In what will be a slow-tempo, lower-scoring game, I recommend wagering on the team with the more reliable offense.
Over/Under Pick for Fordham vs. Davidson
- Under 130.5 (4 Units)
Betting Trends: The under is 8-2 in Fordham's previous ten games. It's also 7-3 in the last ten meetings between Fordham and Davidson.
I like the total to go under 131 points in Wednesday's A-10 clash in Davidson. The Rams and Wildcats play at a snail's pace, ranking 332nd and 343rd in schedule-adjusted tempo, according to KenPom. Both teams shoot under 70 percent at the charity stripe, and neither squad attempts many foul shots. Their shot selections value mid-range and three-pointers, especially Davidson, so I don't anticipate many points in the paint, either.
