Fordham vs LIU Prediction: Fordham -13
Fordham enters this game with a strong home record of 2-0, and they are favored by 13 points against LIU. LIU has struggled with an 0-4 start, all on the road, showing their difficulties this season. Fordham's scoring average is significantly higher, at 75.3 points per game compared to LIU's 61.5 points per game.
Fordham has a history of winning against LIU, as seen in their last few meetings. They have won 4 of the last 5 games against LIU, with an average margin of nearly 10 points. This gives confidence that Fordham can cover the 13-point spread at home.
LIU's shooting stats are concerning, with a low field goal percentage of 37.7% and a 3-point percentage of just 21.6%. These numbers do not bode well against Fordham's stronger defense. Fordham's ability to make 10 three-pointers per game at a 40% rate adds to their scoring potential.
Despite Fordham's struggles against the spread this season, LIU's poor performance and low scoring ability suggest Fordham can win by a comfortable margin. A projected score of Fordham 78 - LIU 62 aligns with covering the spread.
- Fordham vs LIU Prediction: Fordham -13
- Fordham vs LIU Score: Fordham 78 - LIU 62
