Point Spread: 1.50 | -105.00 Saint Joseph's (Away)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: 1.50 | -105.00 Saint Joseph's (Away)
Result: Loss
Saint Joseph's has better talent than Drexel with Taylor Funk, Ryan Daly and Jack Forrest. Drexel can't match that firepower.
Yet Drexel opened the favorite. I understand the Dragons are home. They've played five games, while St. Joe's has played only two games, none since Nov. 27 because of COVID-19 issues.
So, yes, there could be a rust issue. But anytime the superior team is getting points I'm highly interested in backing the 'dog.
St. Joe's two games were against Auburn and Kansas. The Hawks led Auburn by three with 30 seconds left before losing in overtime. They were hanging in against Kansas until the final 15 minutes.
Drexel is coming off a 14-19 season. The Dragons are 3-2, but haven't beaten a team ranked in the top 250 in the KenPom rankings.
