Fordham heads to John M. Belk Arena to face Davidson on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET, with ESPN+ carrying this Atlantic 10 matchup. Davidson is laying points at home, but this one sets up as a grinding conference game where a couple empty possessions can swing everything.
Davidson enters 11-6 and still trying to build consistency, especially when the offense has to win in the half court for 40 minutes. Fordham is 10-9 and feels a bit more volatile game to game. When the Rams defend and rebound, they can hang around with anyone. When the shooting dries up, it gets ugly fast.

Fordham Rams Betting Form
Fordham’s identity is pretty clear right now: defend, rebound, then hope the offense does enough. They’re averaging 72.1 points per game while holding opponents to 65.2, and the rebounding is real. This is a team that can manufacture extra possessions with second-chance looks, which matters more in a lower-possession A-10 game than it does in a track meet.
The problem is shot-making. Even in the Duquesne loss, they did a lot of the “hard stuff” well, but the perimeter efficiency comes and goes. Dejour Reaves is the engine and the guy who can create something when a set breaks down, while Christian Henry and the supporting guards have to keep the floor spaced enough for Jack Whitbourn to own the glass and finish around the rim.
Availability matters too. Bodija recently worked his way back from an absence, while a couple rotation pieces have been listed as questionable lately. If Fordham is short again, it changes how aggressive you can be backing them for 40 minutes, especially on the road.
Davidson Wildcats Betting Form
Davidson’s path is simpler: make threes, avoid live-ball turnovers, and keep the game clean. They’re at their best when they get quality looks early in the clock and don’t have to pound out a contested two late. This team can shoot, and it shows up in both volume and efficiency. When Davidson is comfortable, the offense looks easy.
The other side is where bettors get hesitant. Davidson can be vulnerable if teams get multiple cracks at the rim, and that’s the exact problem Fordham can create with offensive rebounding. That forces Davidson into longer defensive possessions, and it also turns the foul conversation into a real thing. If Davidson is giving up free throws and second-chance points, laying more than two possessions starts to feel expensive.
Fordham Rams vs Davidson Wildcats Matchup Breakdown
This game is basically a tug-of-war between Davidson’s shooting and Fordham’s rebounding. Davidson wants a steady pace with clean possessions and a lot of perimeter volume. Fordham is fine slowing it down, crashing, and turning it into a possession game where every empty trip stings.
The biggest pressure point is on the glass. If Fordham is winning second chances, Davidson has to shoot efficiently just to stay even. If Davidson holds its own on defensive rebounds, then Fordham has to score with one-and-done possessions, and that’s where the Rams can get stuck. I keep coming back to that because it is the most repeatable edge Fordham brings on the road.
The total is interesting because both teams can contribute to an under in different ways. Davidson can go cold from three and still play a controlled game. Fordham can slow the tempo and force longer possessions. The one thing that can ruin an under is late-game fouling if the margin stays in that 4 to 8 range, which is very live with this spread.
If you want a broader framework for how to handicap these possession games, the sports betting strategy guide principles still apply here, even if the league page name is different. Price matters, and so does how each team creates points when the first option is taken away.

Fordham Rams vs Davidson Wildcats Predictions and Best Bets
My first lean is Fordham plus the points. It’s not because Fordham is “better” in a power-rating sense. It’s because their best trait travels, rebounding, and it directly attacks the soft spot in a Davidson cover. Davidson can win and still fail to separate if they’re giving up second looks.
On the Davidson side, the case is obvious: home court, better shooting, and a cleaner offensive structure. If Davidson is even average from three, they can get to the mid-70s without needing a huge pace. But that’s also why I’m hesitant laying 5.5. You’re paying for shooting variance, and that’s not always a bet I like in a conference grinder.
For the total, I lean under 132.5. The matchup points toward longer possessions and a lot of half-court play. Fordham’s defense is built for this kind of game. The risk is that Davidson hits a bunch of threes early and forces Fordham into chasing mode, or that we get the classic late foul parade.
Best Bet: Fordham Rams +5.5 (-113).
