Who We Like: Davidson’s motion offense is rolling right now and the Wildcats’ 2-3 zone gave the Rams’ fits earlier this season. While both offenses are hot, Rhode Island isn’t playing much defense at the moment. After a solid defensive showing versus VCU, St. Joe’s finished with 1.33 points per possession against the Rams on Saturday.
The Wildcats have covered the spread in five of their last six games overall, are 5-1 against the number in their last six games when playing a team with a winning record, and have cashed in eight of their last 12 games following an ATS win (with one push mixed in). On the other side, the Rams are just 2-5 against the spread in their last seven conference games and have failed to cover in 18 of their last 25 games played on Sunday.
