Result:
LOSS

When looking at these two teams the first thing that may be noticed is that Manhattan has played 25 games which have had a sports line, while F-Dickinson has played just two (1-1). This shows that Manhattan has played more meaningful games in terms of betting and may also mean that they have played stronger and higher quality opponents. That aside, Manhattan still has scored more points per game, and turned the ball over less (two key factors in winning basketball games). As we take a closer look to see how these two teams have played in their last 5 games, you will see why the line favors Manhattan (though not as much as it should). F-Dickinson has shot just 25% from 3-point range and 67% from the free throw line, they have also shot a lower percentage from the floor than Manhattan and the scoring difference is huge;  Manhattan has scored over 81 ppg in their last 5 games while F-Dickinson has scored only 66 ppg. Manhattan is a strong home team where they have only lost 3 of their games this season SU; take them giving 6 in this match up as they will win by many more in front of their home fans. Two stars on Manhattan.
