Rider vs Quinnipiac Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup on three-game losing streaks and Rider is already 0-1 in conference play. The Broncs lost to Fairfield by three points in their last game and they are only scoring 64 points per game. Quinnipiac is shooting just 38.3% from the field and they have allowed at least 80 points in three straight games. I don’t like either team in this matchup, but with both teams shooting pretty poorly, I think the under is a decent play.
