Iona Gaels vs Fairfield Stags. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Fairfield Stags. A few weeks ago, when Fairfield was playing at Iona, they performed admirably to terrify the opposition.

Fairfield was able to make their size and physicality known in that game by successfully controlling the paint.

They didn’t win because of their poor three-point shooting, but if they were playing at home, people expected them to shoot better.

Despite the loss in the last game, they easily covered the spread, and they are continuing with the same strategy this time around — down the pace and turn it into a half-court game.

In the previous 17 encounters between these two, the home team has a 12-5 record against the spread. The Stags also went 5-2 ATS in their past seven games overall. The Fairfield Stags will win to a predicted score of 74-67.
