Niagara is better than their record, facing a tough early season schedule. Four players are in double figures with good balance all around. The Purple Eagles are 4-1 ATS following a double-digit loss at home and 4-0 ATS after a spread loss. The Purple Eagles are a big dog here, but defeated the Davidson Wildcats 83-72, last season in the first-ever meeting between the programs. Niagara held Davidson, one of the most efficient shooting teams in the country, to well below its average in field goal percentage (36%) and three-point percentage (20%). Davidson is 0-6 ATS against a team with a winning percentage below .400, plus Davidson has given up over 85 points in two of the last three games. Play the points on Niagara.

Pro Picks
Davidson vs. Niagara
Niagara has been torched this season to the tune of 86.5 points per game allowed. Davidson hasn't been much better, allowing 81 points per game. As a result, no one wants to touch the UNDER here and this total has gotten inflated. Both defenses have improved of late. Over their last five games, both teams have shaved about 5 points per game off their average - for a total of 10 points. And I don't think this line reflects the recent changes. Both are coming off confidence-inspiring defensive performances as Davidson gave up 63 last game while Niagara held their last opponent to just 56. The last five times Davidson has reached triple figures offensively, they have followed that up with an UNDER all five times. They are also 6-1-1 UNDER in their last eight games vs. teams below .400. Go with the UNDER.
