Hofstra Pride

Hofstra covered 20 of its 31 lined games in 2025-26, and only 16 Division I teams covered more often. A unit on the Pride to win every priced game made 6.36, and our Hofstra predictions above are written with that record behind them.

December’s two upsets

The Pride’s best month was December: five wins in six, five covers in five lined games, 6.84 moneyline units. Two road wins did most of it, 80-73 at Pittsburgh at +330 and 70-69 at Syracuse at +390, as 8.5- and 9.5-point underdogs.

As an underdog Hofstra covered 7 of 9; only 12 teams did better getting points, two the same.

The January slide

Between 15 and 29 January Hofstra lost five straight, four of them as favorites, including 78-79 at North Carolina A&T at -500. January’s cover count was 2 in 9. From 31 January the Pride won 11 of their last 12, the CAA tournament included.

Home and away

Hofstra went 10-2 at home and 9-8 on the road, covering 6 of 10 at home and 11 of 17 away. The road rate was beaten by only 47 teams. The widest road margin among them was 77-60 at Pennsylvania in November, laying 1.5. The Pride allowed 66.06 points a game, and only 18 teams allowed fewer.
