Fairleigh Dickinson vs. Creighton Prediction
I’m on the over here. I just think that this is one of those games where Creighton is going to get whatever they want offensively and could be a spot for the Bluejays to crack triple digits. On the other side, Fairleigh Dickinson should be able to contribute enough to get us up and over this number so give me the over here.
