Hofstra
Moneyline Pick: Hofstra (-335) - B

Hofstra’s standout guard has been on a tear, boosting the Pride through a modest two-game winning streak despite their center carrying a nagging ankle injury that remains day-to-day. North Carolina A&T, weighed down by a three-game skid, fields a depleted backcourt with a sidelined guard, compounding their defensive woes. Historically, Hofstra’s top forward has excelled against the Aggies, consistently breaking down their interior defense. Factoring in these elements, the Pride’s momentum, even with health concerns, is still strong enough to secure this victory, earning this pick a solid “B” for its blend of likelihood and fair return.

Over/Under Pick: Over 126, (-110) - B
North Carolina A&T’s star forward returns after sitting out last week with a minor ankle injury, which should boost a squad already desperate to snap its three-game losing skid. Meanwhile, Hofstra is on a two-game slide of its own, but their leading guard has historically torched the Aggies with repeated double-digit scoring efforts. The Pride’s shallow bench might be a concern, yet their fast-paced offense keeps them competitive even when a starter is absent. With both sides eager to end losing streaks and proven scorers now looking healthier, this Over 126 wager is graded a strong “B,” and if it hits, a near 1:1 payout should make it well worth the risk.
Spread Pick: Hofstra, -7 (-110) - B+
Hofstra’s backcourt, confirmed at full strength and ready to go according to ESPN rosters, enters this matchup on a modest winning trend and aims to capitalize on North Carolina A&T’s ongoing skid, which has seen the Aggies struggling to end a persistent losing streak. While NC A&T’s roster remains mostly active, a nagging injury to a key reserve threatens its depth and poses a challenge against Hofstra’s usual home-court prowess in conference play. Historically, the Pride have fared better in similar matchups, further tilting the momentum. Laying seven points at -110 odds offers a decent opportunity for a favorable payout, so this prediction merits a B+ rating for both its likely accuracy and balanced monetary return.
