The Coach's EARLY BIRD SPECIAL!
(NCAAB) Quinnipiac vs. Manhattan,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -115.00 Manhattan (Home)
Result: Loss
The Manhattan Jaspers play their final home game this Saturday, host the Quinnipiac Bobcats. The Jaspers sit third in the MAAC with a record of 12-5, three games clear of the sixth place Bobcats. The home team looks like a good bet here, as the Jaspers are asked to cover just a small number.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Coookin' - The Jaspers boast a home record of 8-2, and they covered the spread in all but one of those eight wins. The Bobcats have losing record on the road (5-6) and they have failed to cover in four straight road games.

2. Sharp Shooting - Manhattan comes in shooting 44% from the field in it's last five games, while during the same span the Bobcats have shot just 36.7%.

3. X-Factor - Quinnipiac has struggled against the top teams in the conference, failing to cover in five of it's last six versus opponents with a winning record.

Selection: This is a play on the Manhattan Jaspers(8*)
