VCU Rams at Dayton Flyers Prediction

VCU lost to a a decent Rhode Island team in their latest which broke off a nine game winning streak. They’re 13-3 straight up in Atlantic 10 games including a five point home victory over Dayton. What is concerning though is their road record. The Rams are 5-3 in conference road games, but 3-5 versus the spread are 1-2 ATS in their three losses. Dayton comes into this game on a roll with eight consecutive wins and are 14-2 versus conference teams with a perfect 8-0 as as a host. The previous loss and the home crowd should make a difference here as the home squad gets the win and the cover.
