Yup, 2-0 in posted plays! True yet sarcasm all in one...
I'm hard pressed not taking a team getting 3.5 points that I think should win by 8.
Can't say I am a huge fan of backing road teams but I can't deny this one looks really good. Manhattan has played really well lately winning 5 of their last 6 and playing exceptional defense during that run including holding William & Mary to only 39 points on the road the last time out. Their only loss during this run was to league leader Sienna.
The last time these 2 teams played, Manhattan won at home by 5 but that was even when Fairfeld had leading scorer Jonathan Han who has been dismissed from the team. They also had a healthy Greg Nero but he left last weeks game with back problems and is questionable for tonight. Even if he plays he won't be 100%. If he doesn't play, even better! Fairfeld has also lost the last 4 games in a row so I doubt they are rimming with confidence.
Fairfeld has been riddled with team issues and injuries all season and only played 6 players last week. With Nero not healthy and a team that plays in your face defense, I think it will be too much for Fairfeld. If Nero doesn't play, Fairfeld will not have a player suited up for the game that averages over double digits.
I am taking the +3.5 as a gift and putting some on the ML. Any game can lose but I like to pick my spots and this seems a great spot.
