Manhattan -1½ over Mount St. Mary’s

Draddy Gymnasium – Manhattan, NY

7:00 PM ET. Mount St. Mary’s enters this matchup as a public darling, riding an 8-1 ATS run and boasting a slew of notable upsets. Their recent résumé includes outright wins as a dog against teams like Miami and Long Island, with their stunning upset over Miami as a 16.5-point underdog serving as the jewel in their crown. At first glance, the Mount looks like an attractive underdog here against a Manhattan side that has struggled as a favorite.

However, this is where the oddsmakers tip their hand. Despite all of Mount St. Mary’s recent success, the Jaspers are still priced as the chalk here. Why? Because the Mount’s recent performances have created a mirage. Their success as an underdog has been magnified by a few high-profile wins, but that doesn’t mean they’re the better team in this spot.

Manhattan has played comparable opponents to Mount St. Mary’s and handled them well, including wins over Fordham and Presbyterian. The line here feels like a trap, designed to lure unsuspecting bettors into backing the trendy Mountaineers. We’re not falling for it. The Jaspers are quietly undervalued in this spot, and we trust the oddsmakers are tipping their hand.
