Trends
NJIT is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games and 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 road games. Bryant is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the under is 8-3 in their last 11 home games.
Pick
I’m leaning towards NJIT here. Bryant has definitely cooled off a fair bit from being the team that was lighting scoreboards ablaze earlier this season while NJIT may not be winning games, but they’ve been competitive, especially as double-digit underdogs. I’m not saying NJIT wins outright but an 8-9 point Bryant win is something I could definitely see for this game. Give me the Highlanders and the points here.
