This is a 10* SUPER-BLOWOUT on Fairfield.

For a number of different reasons I like Fairfield to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. I think Rider comes in a bit complacent here after winning four in a row. The Broncos are a good team, four players average between 11.1 and 9.1 PPG, but I simply feel that this is a tough spot for it. Most recently Rider is coming off a 69-59 win over Marist on Friday. From a "motivational" stand point, there's no question in my mind which team will be the "hungrier" as note, Fairfield would begin the year 2-0 in conference play, but comes in having lost four straight, including a frustrating 68-67 loss at home to Siena on Friday (note that the Stags actually led 66-63 in the closing moments before blowing it). This is also a "double revenge" spot for Fairfield, which lost 71-62 in Bridgeport on February 15th, after also falling 73-65 on February 3rd in Rider. And finally note, this is the third consecutive road game for the Broncos, making this is a natuarl letdown spot for the visitors in my opinion. A plethora of favorable situational factors collide to make FAIRFIELD the savvy move in this one.
