It's easy to overlook the A-10 games but I couldn't help but notice this little gem:
[735] Massachusetts -4 (16-5, 5-2 in A-10, 3-4 Away, 10-7-1 ATS) @ [736] Rhode Island (4-18, 1-6 in A-10, 2-9 Home, 8-12-1 ATS)
Mass sits atop the A-10, which might not be saying much, and they're only favored by 4? Rhode Island is dead last of the conference standings with a single win against Dayton in it's recent slump. It's just in a short two hour trip to Kingston, RI. They haven't lost to any teams in the bottom half of the A-10 table besides Dusquesne (12-9, 3-4 in A-10, 9-9-1 ATS).
Also take note, the Atlantic 10 is fairly top heavy and competitive. Mass is in a 3-way tie for 1st with La Salle and St. Bonaventure. Temple is 2nd, Xavier 3rd, and Dayton tied with Saint Louis in 4th. So this is easiest game Mass is going to get to separate themselves from the others. La Salle has a fairly easy home game against Charlotte (10-10, 2-4 in A-10), and St. Bonaventure is facing a tough Saint Louis (16-5, 4-3 in A-10) team on the road.
In conclusion I guess I'm just wondering if anyone think there's value in the line at -4. I think the Minutemen shouldn't have any issues putting the Rams away. The worst that could happen is a push. Thoughts?
And I realize the game is in a hour, but better late than never
