Fordham at Richmond

The Richmond Spiders put together a few impressive teams over the past few seasons, but this one is certainly not in the same class as those teams as they have struggled to keep their head above water at 12-11. Fordham, for the most part, has been over-matched in the Atlantic-10 for several years, and they are 6-15 on the season and have failed to record a road win in six tries this season. That doesn't mean they have not been competitive as their four road loses in conference play have come by 11 points or less, and that calls into question the robust number the odds-makers have pinned on Richmond here, which certainly appears over-done. The Spiders have never been overly enthusiastic at home vs. a team with a losing road record where they are just 7-15-1 in their last 23. Make the play on Fordham.
