The Rams are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The over is 6-1 in Rams last 7 overall. The over is 6-2 in Explorers last 8 overall. The road team is 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings.
The Rhode Island Rams have been hit or miss this season and aren’t covering numbers, but they’re easily the more talented team here and have a clear edge defensively. The La Salle Explorers are losing their last five games by an average of 12 points and are allowing 49 percent shooting from the field. Rhode Island should be licking its chops heading into this contest. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with the Rams.
