Delaware plays its first road game today after splitting its first two, including an 85-73 loss to Bucknell as a 3-point favorite. The defense allowed an average of 81 points per game, and Delaware is on a 6-12 spread run since last season. Iona plays its first home game, and they're expected to be one of the better teams in the MAAC conference. The Gaels have won 33 of their last 39 home contests and tend to buckle down defensively on home court. This sets up as a good matchup for Iona, and I have them covering the number. Play Iona.

Pro Picks
Iona at Delaware
Iona is looking to win 20+ games for the eighth straight season, and at 8-4 they are well be on their way. While that may be true, they have not been a good team on the road. Over their last 70 road games, they are just 35-35 straight-up, including 2-2 this year. They have had the most problems on the road during these 70 games when posted as a road favorite of 8.5 points or more, where they are a woeful 1-6 ATS. Delaware has broken even on the season at 6-6. This has been a longterm problem for the Gaels, as they are 44-65 ATS in non-conference road games since 1997. Playing to a total in the 130s is not their sweet spot where they are 2-9 ATS. Take the points and play on Delaware.
