George Mason Patriots at Fordham Rams Prediction 2/7/2018
In many consensus forums, the Patriots were a popular selection. Anytime the dog garners a lot of love and support from the public; we have to take a closer look by virtue of the fact that raises many red flags. Moreover, when we see a team with Fordham's body of work favored one cannot assume that this is simply a mistake.
The Rams own the better defense and commit lesser turnovers compared to the Patriots. Both of these narratives are instrumental in this affair as it can truly give the Rams a sense of home court advantage. One other key ingredient sticks out to us here, luck factor. According to KenPom, the Patriots are the 13th luckiest team in America when it comes to close games going their way. Given all the variables in this spot, this looks like an optimal spot to lay the points given the low-hanging fruit and environmental factors that favor Fordham.
Free Pick:
Fordham -1.5 (KF)
