Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manhattan vs. Fairleigh Dickinson odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
The Jaspers come into this game after opening their season with a 73-56 loss to Virginia Commonwealth on Monday night. While losing the game, Manhattan was able to keep the game inside the 22.5 spread and it will have an easier time on Sunday against an opponent not up to the same level of competition as VCU.
