This is an 8* play on St. Joe's

I'm not sure UMass should be favored against anyone in the A-10, even at home, given they're the last place team in the conference. The Minutemen are just 9-17 SU overall with a 2-11 A-10 record. But here's the real kicker. They are 0-12 ATS as a favorite this season, losing nine of those games straight up! Most of those games have taken place here in Amherst where they're just 2-10 ATS overall. UMass already lost to St. Joe's earlier in the year in what was a two-point game. St. Joe's won despite a 33.9 FG% and making only 4 of 23 three-point attempts. While the road has been far from kind to the Hawks, today's game would certainly qualify as the most "winnable" (away from home) on the Atlantic 10 slate. UMass just lost to a bad George Washington team by 12 on Wednesday, which was another time they were favored (-2.5 on the road). Given their ATS record as chalk, I don't see how one couldn't fade them Saturday. Play on ST. JOE'S
