Stags vs Broncs
Broncs Aim to Tame Stags in MAAC Showdown
Fairfield @ Rider
February 21 | 7:00pm ET | Alumni Gymnasium
Grade B+: Rider Moneyline
The Rider Broncs, led by standout guard T.J. Weeks, are set to host the Fairfield Stags in a pivotal MAAC matchup. Weeks, averaging 13.9 points per game, has been instrumental in Rider's recent performances. The Broncs' offense, producing 67.5 points per game, will face a Fairfield defense allowing 73.7 points per game. Notably, the Stags have struggled on the road, which could play into Rider's favor. Both teams report no significant injuries, ensuring a full-strength contest. With Rider’s home-court advantage and Fairfield’s road challenges, the Broncs are positioned as favorites, making their moneyline at -165 a solid betting option. Given these factors, this pick earns a B+ for its strong likelihood of hitting and reasonable betting value.
Grade B: Rider -3.5
The Rider Broncs, energized by their recent victory over Iona, are preparing to face the Fairfield Stags in a crucial MAAC contest. Rider’s offense, averaging 67.5 points per game, will test a Fairfield defense that has been allowing 73.7 points per game. The Stags have faced difficulties on the road this season, which could be advantageous for the Broncs. Both teams report no significant injuries, ensuring a competitive matchup. The current spread favors Rider by 3.5 points, with both teams at -110 odds. Given Rider’s home-court advantage and Fairfield’s inconsistency, the Broncs are well-positioned to cover the spread at -3.5. This bet is rated a B, as Rider's slight edge makes them a solid but not guaranteed pick.
Grade B: Under 139.5 Points
The Fairfield Stags, aiming to rebound from recent setbacks, travel to face the Rider Broncs in a crucial MAAC contest. Fairfield's defense has been porous, allowing 73.7 points per game, while their offense averages 68.7 points per game. Rider, on the other hand, scores 67.5 points per game and concedes 70.3 points per game. Both teams have struggled offensively in recent games, with Fairfield scoring 67 and 52 points in their last two outings, and Rider posting 65 and 71 points. The over/under is set at 139.5 points, and given both teams’ inconsistency on offense, a lower-scoring game is likely. With that in mind, betting the under looks like the best play, earning this prediction a B due to the teams’ defensive lapses still posing some risk.
