Bet on Davidson vs. Rhode Island
Rhode Island has won three straight meetings with Davidson, but the two are meeting for the first time this season. The Rams have covered in seven of their last 10 games, but Davidson is 7-2-1 ATS and the Wildcats are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four road games. Rhode Island struggled in its last game at home, beating Duquesne by just three. I think Davidson could take advantage of the Rams overlooking them and make this game interesting. The public betting is backing Rhode Island, but I will take Davidson with the points.
