*9* MAC CHAMPIONSHIP!

Central Michigan

[LLXC]

Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons

Manhattan +13

For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this matchup is on the large visiting dog:

Antoine Pearson scored 16 points to lead Manhattan in a 68-44 win over Fordham on Saturday night.

Darryl Crawford added 15 points and Rico Pickett had 14 for the Jaspers, who have won three straight games. Pearson finished 6-for-8 from the floor and tallied five steals, and Crawford chipped in with nine rebounds.

Manhattan is 4-2 SU to start the season.

On the other side of the court: Five Akron players scored in double figures in an 80-68 victory over Niagara on Sunday.

The Zips outscored Niagara 57-37 in the second half to erase an eight-point halftime deficit and I expect a similar collapse down the stretch tonight.

The Purple Eagles are a sub-par 2-4 ATS their last six at home.

Bottom line: The Jaspers matchup well against the Purple Eagles and when taking into account the recent play of both teams, look for MANHATTAN to improve to 3-2 ATS this season after a non-conference game and for Niagara to fall to 1-5 ATS this year as a favorite.

*9* MANHATTAN.
