This is a 10* MAAC SIDE OF THE WEEK on Rider.
REASONING: Siena is 3-5 overall and 0-5 on the road. Rider is 3-3 and 0-1 at home. We think the Broncos finally get off the schneid in MAAC action. Both teams played Fairfield just last week and Siena won by seven, while Rider fell by nine. Despite that, we like the Broncos to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. This is a "revenge" game for the home side, as Siena has won three straight in the series, including both last year. The year before that though, Rider beat Siena at home. The Saints have five players averaging double figures and are led by Marquis Wright with 18 points, 4.3 boards and 4.6 assists per game. The Broncos are led by Jimmie Taylor and Kahil Thomas, both who average 13 PPG. Three Rider players average double figures. It's true that Siena averages 75.1 PPG, but it also gives up 76.4. Rider averages just 69.2, but concedes only 68.3. Note that the Saints are just 1-4 ATS in their last five as a road fav of 3.5 to six points and just 7-13 ATS in their last 20 when playing on one or less days rest, while Rider is 2-0 ATS in its last two as a home dog of 3.5 to six points and 9-7 ATS in its last 16 off a loss against a conference rival. We think the conditions are right for an outright upset, but we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can. Play on RIDER.
