I was high on the St. Bonaventure Bonnies since the start of the season, and they’re playing well, but the problem is they’re 8-14 against the spread on the season and 4-7 against the spread at home. The UMass Minutemen are hit or miss, but they only lose as an underdog by an average of four points. I’ll take a shot here with the road dog.
