The Fairfield Stags haven’t played a game since December 23, so there are some serious concerns of rust here. However, Fairfield has been solid against the number and has a clear edge offensively here. The Marist Red Foxes have been hit or miss all year and have had issues against even subpar teams. Because of the track record against the number, hard for me to turn down Fairfield at home.
