Free Spread Prediction: St. Bonaventure Bonnies +4.5
Coming into this game, the Fordham Rams are the betting favorites, with the spread sitting at -4.5 points in their favor. Yet, when it comes down to getting a wager on the game, we like St. Bonaventure to cover as the road dogs. Although Fordham comes into the game with a better per game average in 3-pointers made, we like the fact that St. Bonaventure is shooting better from the field, posting a field goal percentage of 43.9%. Our projections show that the Bonnies’ offense could improve those numbers with a good shooting performance against the Rams. Leading up to tip-off, we are recommending to take St. Bonaventure taking the points.
