Stephen Nover's CBB Thursday Top Ticket
(NCAAB) Manhattan vs. Rider, 03/02/2017 4:00 PM, Score: 68 - 69
Point Spread: -6.00 | -115.00 Rider (Home)
Result: Loss
I'm going to ride Rider here. Rider has won and covered its past three games winning each game by double digits. This includes a 93-82 victory over the Jaspers on Feb. 22 in this spread range at home. The Broncs are peaking at the right time.

Although this matchup is on a neutral court, Manhattan doesn't have the defense to stop Rider. The Jaspers give up nearly 78 points a game allowing foes to shoot better than 45 from the floor. Rider is averaging 98.3 points in its last three games.

Manhattan has failed to cover the last four times when getting points. The Jaspers are 1-4 ATS in their last five Metro Atlantic games, too, and were blown out by Iona in their last game losing 72-51 as an 11-point road 'dog this past Friday. Rider beat Iona on the road, 103-85, just three games ago.
