*8* play on Quinnipiac.

The Sienna Saints are one of the top teams in the MAAC, and they will be a huge favorite at home to bottom feeders Quinnipiac on Sunday. The Saints have lost back-to-back games though, and I think the spread in this game looks a little inflated. My money is on the Bobcats plus the points.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Bobcats have failed to cover in seven straight, but they are getting a bigger handicap in this game than in any of those previous seven. Four of the last five meetings have been decided by fewer points than the Saints are asked to cover here in this contest.

2. Battle on the Boards - The Bobcats lead the MAAC in rebounding, averaging almost 40 rebounds per game. They had 44 rebounds in a home loss to Sienna earlier this year.

3. X-Factor - The Saints shot just 33.8 percent from the field in the last meeting, and were just 4-of-16 from beyond the arc.

Selection: This is a play on the Quinnipiac Bobcats (8*)
