The Bobcats are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games and 5-2 ATS in the last seven Saturday games. The under is 5-1 in Quinnipiac’s last six Saturday games and 5-2 in their last seven at home versus a team with a losing road record.
Meanwhile, the Griffins are 1-4 ATS in their last five versus a team with a losing straight-up record and 30-12-1 ATS in the last 43 road games versus a team with a winning home record. The under is 14-6-1 in Canisius’ last 21 Saturday games and 4-1 in their last five overall.
PICK: I’m going with Quinnipiac in this one. The Bobcats had a commanding 34-21 lead at halftime in the Friday game, but fell apart in the second half by coughing up 53 points. Neither team shot all that well, and Quinnipiac coughed up 17 turnovers. If the Bobcats can turn in a cleaner game here I like them better on a cover.
