Public Money

Out of the gate, we have seen a lean by the public on the Jaspers. 94% of the cash is on Manhattan whilst the ticket action has been split down the middle. Contrarily, the market has moved up by a point to reflect action on Canisius. In Over/Under markets, the figure has gone up by four points to its current station of 138.5, indicating heavy early action on the Over.

Canisius Golden Griffins at Manhattan Jaspers Prediction

We will continue to exploit a wrinkle that can produce a lot of profits when the host is a pooch. Manhattan has been dominant at home this season whilst Canisius has struggled mightily. This is a prominent feature of college basketball and even more prevalent in mid-major conferences such as the MAAC. This is even more conducive to the Jaspers’ ace in the hole: their three-point shooting game. The Jaspers are top-level from behind the arc, proliferating a 47th ranked 38.6%. This will be their avenue to establish momentum. If Manhattan gets hot early, it can get ugly.

Manhattan is sick and tired of being bullied by Canisius and this couldn’t be a better venue for the Jaspers to turn the tide. The Jaspers trail the Golden Griffins by just one game in the conference standings. Presently, Canisius is tied with Iona at the top of the table. A win for Manhattan puts them right in the mix for the conference race. With home cooking behind them, the Jaspers are in prime position to pull off an upset against a team that is not used to being the hunted.
