moneyline bet is picking who wins, nothing else. In this game, +265 means a $100 bet profits $265 if it wins. The
spread is a head start: -7.5 must win by 8+, while +7.5 cashes by losing by 7 or fewer (or winning). The
total is combined points by both teams, over or under the books' number.
+EV means the price pays better than the market-implied fair odds (vig removed); consistently taking better prices raises your expected return over time. Learn free:

Iona vs Hofstra Prediction: One Number, Two Prices
The spread is 7.5 points, and one book pays plus money on one side of it. Another book charges -110 on the other side of that same number. That gap is the whole story of this Iona vs Hofstra game for a bettor. The Iona Gaels visit the Hofstra Pride on Friday, November 13 at 7:00 PM ET at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. The game streams on FloSports.
The Matchup: Who Is Favored to Win Iona vs Hofstra?
Hofstra is the favorite. As of November 12, Iona is 2-2 and Hofstra is 1-2. That is four and three games into the season, far too early to call form. The last meeting, 371 days ago, went against Hofstra. Iona has covered the spread (beaten the betting margin) in 3 of 4 graded games. That is a tiny sample, context only.
Rest is even: two days each. Travel is not. Hofstra flew 2,152 miles home from Tempe across two time zones east. Iona came 16 miles from the Bronx for game three of a road trip. Our rating, an Elo model built on stored results, gives Hofstra 78% to win, a bit above the market's 73%. That is context, not a bet.
Players to Watch
Iona's Kevon Vanderhorst averages 13.8 points per game over four games. He played 36 minutes last game and 63 over the past seven days. Hofstra's Trey Boyd III averages 10.7 points per game over three games, a small sample to watch rather than trust. The team per-game averages, also from those short windows, flag one clash. Iona turns it over 17 times a game across four games. Hofstra has held opponents to 35.67% shooting across three.
What Are the Iona vs Hofstra Odds?
The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. Hofstra is -275 at FanDuel: risk $100 to profit $36.36. The point spread is a bet on the margin. Iona +7.5 at -110 (Courtside) wins if Iona wins or loses by 7 or fewer. The total, combined points by both teams, is 136.5: Over -105 at theScore Bet, Under -106 at Courtside. Books bake in a fee called the vig. Remove it and the market reads Hofstra 73.2%, Iona 26.8%. These are the best prices across the books we track, and shopping is the edge.
Where the Value Is
Expected value is what a bet returns on average if you made it many times. Against the market's no-vig read, almost everything here loses. Hofstra's moneyline averages minus $0.23. The Over is minus $2.38, the Under minus $2.83. One ticket clears the bar.
The Pick
The price is the reason. It is the only spot on this board where the payout beats the market's own read. The turnover and shooting numbers are early-season notes, not the foundation. The long flight home from Tempe is the risk we accept.
