The Siena Saints are at home, but the Niagara Purple Eagles have been the better team overall this season, and that’s the team you should usually lean toward in a pick em spot. Also, Siena actually loses at home by an average of 8.6 points while shooting just 42.2 percent from the field. Niagara is the better team here, so that’s the side I roll with in a true toss up.
