A $700 Price Tag at Rose Hill Gym
Fordham costs $700 to win $100 on Friday night. The Long Island University Sharks pay $500 on a $100 bet if they pull the upset. That gap is how the market sees Long Island University vs Fordham, and our job is to decide whether either number deserves your money. The Fordham Rams host at Rose Hill Gym. Tip-off is 7:00 PM ET on Friday, November 13, and the game streams on ESPN+.
The Matchup
It is early. As of publication, LIU is four games into the season at 0-4, and Fordham is three games in at 2-1. That sample is far too small to call form, so we will not lean on either record. The teams have not met this season. The last meeting was 358 days ago, and Fordham won it. LIU has three days of rest but plays game five of a road trip, after traveling 176 miles from Towson with no time-zone change.
Fordham has two days of rest and plays game three of a home stand. Neither team is on a back-to-back (games on consecutive days). Against the spread (ATS, meaning whether a team beat the betting margin), LIU is 1-3 in four graded games and Fordham is 1-2 in three. On totals, LIU is 1-3 over-under in four games and Fordham is 3-0 in three. Tiny samples, so treat them as trivia.
Players to Watch
Lateef Patrick Jr. leads Fordham at 16.0 points per game over three games, a small sample. Amir Lindsey is the hot headline: "Lindsey's 20 lead Fordham over Iona 78-72," and he played 29 minutes last game. For LIU, Daquan Davis averages 14.2 points per game over four games. He logged 34 minutes last game and 64 over the past seven days. Vasean Allette has 68 minutes over that same week. LIU has played two games in the last seven days, Fordham one.
Who Is Favored to Win Long Island University vs Fordham?
Fordham is the favorite. The moneyline is a bet on who wins outright. At the best price, Fordham -700 at Fanatics, a $100 bet profits $14.29 when it wins and loses $100 when it does not. To break even you need Fordham to win 87.5% of the time. LIU is the underdog at +500, also best at Fanatics.
A $100 bet profits $500.00 when it wins and loses $100 when it does not, with a break-even of 16.7%. Books build in a fee called the vig. A total of 143 is listed, but with no Over or Under price we will not grade it. Always shop. Fanatics has the best number on both sides here.
Where the Value Is
Value means the market's no-vig chance beats your break-even. Fordham needs 87.5% and the market says about 84%. LIU needs 16.7% and the market says about 16%. Both sides fall short. Expected value is your average result per $100 risked over many bets, and here both tickets average slightly below zero by the market's own math. Our rating, a simple Elo model, gives Fordham 69% and LIU 31%. That is context only, not a bet, and we do not build a ticket on it.
The Pick
Fordham to win the game, but no bet at -700 at Fanatics. That is the best price on the board, and it still asks for more certainty than the market supports. The +500 on LIU falls short of its 16.7% break-even too. We pass on Fordham vs Long Island University.

The Prediction
Both teams play near 66.7 possessions per game over their last 10 stored games, and Fordham scores 103.9 points per 100 possessions to LIU's 101.6. Add home court and Fordham should control this one. We project Fordham 74, LIU 63. That adds to 137, which is under the 143 total, though we are not grading the total without a price. That is the read on this number; on days when the board offers no value, the Desk's documented free play sits right below.
