Fordham is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games against a team with a losing home record while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall. Duquesne is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 home games.
Full disclosure, I’m not sure why this total is anywhere near the 130s. Both teams are struggling big time right now and a big reason for that is that both are having the hardest time trying to score and it’s just not happening on either side. I envision this being a first to 60 wins kind of game, so I’m loving the under in this one.
