Friday’s Best College Basketball Bets: VCU vs. Dayton
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
VCU vs. Dayton
The Flyers struggled through the early stages of conference play, posting a 1-3 record in their first four games against Atlantic 10 opponents. However, they've figured things out of late and have won five of their six games against conference foes.
Meanwhile, the Rams have rolled through conference play, winning eight of their last nine games, and winning their last two games by a combined 71 points. They'll get a tougher matchup tonight, but based on how they've played recently, it makes sense they're favored on the road.
That said, I'm taking the home team to pull out this victory. The Rams have struggled away from their home floor this season. They're just 3-2 in neutral site games and 3-3 in true road games. Tonight, they're entering a hostile environment and one where the Flyers defeated UConn earlier this season. Back the Flyers to win as slight underdogs.
Pick: Dayton Moneyline (+105)
