Siena is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games while the over is 8-3 in their last 11 games following an ATS win.
Pick
I get the case to be made for either side here but I like Siena in this game a lot. The Saints are just the better team as they’re one of the top two teams in the MAAC this season in my opinion. Fairfield hasn’t played a whole lot on the road in the last couple of months and I think this is going to be too much of adjustment. Siena’s won nine straight head-to-head and a lot of them have been convincing performances for the Saints. Give me Siena in this one.
