These two teams are pretty similar, but I trust Fordham a little more. Fordham on the season is averaging 71 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Central Connecticut in the last game gave up 79 points and they are going to really struggle again in this game. Fordham’s offense is going to be the difference as they are going to get the job done. Back Fordham against the spread.
