Fairleigh Dickinson Knights

The Knights covered the spread in 10 of 29 games in 2025-26; only 11 Division I teams covered less often. Their games went under 19 times in 29, a rate 22 teams topped.

Ten covers in 29

Fairleigh Dickinson went 11-21 straight up and 10-19 against the spread, 34.5%. The road did most of the damage: 3-15 straight up, 5 covers in 18, with only 12 teams lower away. At home it was 8-6 and 5-6 against the number.

November set the tone: 1-6, no covers in six, 4.00 units lost on four priced games. Losses at Saint Peter’s (+6.5), NJIT (+2.5) and at home to East Texas A&M (+3.5) and Army (-4.5) all missed.

January, the one good month

January was the exception: 4-6 straight up, six covers in ten, and the only month that finished level, 0.10 units up. It held both road upsets: 74-67 at Mercyhurst at +225 and 76-66 at Central Connecticut at +275. February went back to 4-4 with two covers in eight: wins over Stonehill, Mercyhurst, Saint Francis and Chicago State, three of them by seven points or fewer.

The moneyline

One unit on all 26 priced games lost 9.27 units. The 15 priced underdog games lost 8.00, and as favorites the Knights went 6-5, losing 1.27 on 11.

The total

Low scoring was the constant. Fairleigh Dickinson scored 67.19 a game, 24 teams fewer, and 19 of its 29 posted totals went under, 65.5%. The lowest total of the season, 123.5, still went over in a 77-84 home loss to New Haven.

The opponents

Le Moyne and LIU each won both meetings; Fairleigh Dickinson covered once in those four games. Mercyhurst was met three times, two Knights wins and two covers, but the third ended the season in the NEC quarterfinal, 61-70.
