Drexel +9.5 (5 units)
Fairfield +4 (2 units)

The line on the Drexel/St Joseph is quite inflated. St Joseph's is coming off of 2 straight road victories and covered both times. The oddsmakers are making St Joseph on the road a 9.5 point favorite. Drexel played at St Joseph's last season and defeated them 72-56. I got this line from yahoo sports so I am not sure what the actual line is going to be. This is going to be one of those games where Drexel will be covering the spread for the entire 40 minutes and may even win the game. Having the plus points gives me a confort zone in this game.

Fairfield is the better of two bad teams. Fairfield defeated William and Mary last season 61-45. Assists and turnovers were the difference in that game. Fairfield had 16 assists and committed only 7 turnovers. William & Mary had only 7 assists but committed 13 turnovers. 3 point shooting: Fairfiled: 7/24 (29%) and William & Mary 2/15 (13%).
For this season Fairfield has more assists than turnovers which means they take care of the ball. William & Mary has a lot more turnovers than assists. William & Mary played at Hampton and lost 70-63. Key stastistics for William & Mary: 7 assists, 19 turnovers, 12/22 freethrows, 3/20 3 pointers. Virginia Millitary played at William & Mary and defeated them 83-72. Key Statistics for WIlliam & Mary: 15 assists, 31 turnovers. Wow those are some very ugly stastistics for William & Mary. I will bet anyone that William & Mary has the worst assist to turnover ratio in college basketball. I think the points are huge in this game. This game should be close and fairfield wins this game.
