Manhattan is coming into this game as a 4 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Manhattan has been playing alright recently winning 2 of their last 3 games but they are coming off of a loss against Iona in their last game. Iona is a tough team to beat, especially on the road, and Manhattan is going to be looking to bounce back at home against a Canisius side that sit at the bottom of the standings. Canisius is 5-10 this season and they have lost all 7 of their road games. They have lost their last 4 straight road games by double digits as well and their closest loss on the road this season was by 9 points. Manhattan should be able to bounce back against a Canisius side that has been struggling on the road this season. The best bet to place in this game is on Manhattan to cover the spread here.
