I'm on Davidson -3.5 vs Fordham for these reasons:

- Fordham are 3-7 in their last 10, coming into this tournament with a 3 game losing streak.

- Davidson won and covered vs Fordham twice this season. Beating them by double digits both times.

- Fordhams defense is suspect against teams who can get to the line. They allow 24 free throw attempts on average per game. Davidson shoot 73% from the free throw line. (Fordham shoot 65% from the charity stripe).

- Fordham can compete on the boards, but offensively they won't be able to keep up with Davidson, especially if they start hitting the three pointers efficiently as they did in both the last meeting (shot 50% from long range @ Fordham).

- This line is just too low. It could be because it's hard to beat a team 3 times in a season, but Davidson by far are the better squad.

Official Play: Davidson -3.5

Side Bet: Under 134
