Fairfield vs New Hampshire Prediction & Pick
Fairfield and New Hampshire have met 12 times since 1977, resulting in 10 victories for the Stags. Fairfield has since won seven of its last eight games against New Hampshire, having not lost on the road against the Wildcats since 1983.
Having said that, the Stags did look terrible in their season-opening game. While Wake Forest is no slouch, it wasn't exactly encouraging to see Fairfield beaten in just about every possible area. It also doesn't help that the Stags are 3-8 straight up in their last 11 games against America East schools.
I could see New Hampshire getting the upset win this afternoon. Though it came against weaker competition, the Wildca ts' shooters looked good against Brandeis, shooting 46.4% from beyond the arc. With how inaccurate Fairfield was, there's still a lot to prove before the program can be trusted.
Give me New Hampsire getting the upset in a close game.
Final Score Prediction:'New Hampshire: 65 | Fairfield: 60

Fairfield vs New Hampshire Best Bet
Don't expect a lot of points when the Stags and Wildcats meet. The total has gone under in each of Fairfield's last five road games, as well as in four of New Hampshire's last five home contests. Considering how the two sides only combined for 120 points in their last meeting and that Fairfield's offense didn't look good the other night, I'm taking the under as the best bet.
