Rhode Island’s Opening Run
Undefeated is a nice look for the Rams. They’ll try to keep it that way on Monday night. This fast-paced team is also powered by a strong offense. Rhode Island averages 90.4 points per game on 52.7% shooting. Five players average double-figures. The Rams hit 41.3% of their threes and average 32.3 trips to the free throw line. They knock down 69.9% of their free throws. Along with that, Rhode Island averages 9.6 offensive rebounds and 11.9 turnovers per contest. Are they ready to exceed 80 points for an eighth straight game?
Unlike Yale, Rhode Island’s defense isn’t a clear liability. The Rams haven’t let an opponent reach 80 points yet. This defense limits foes to 69.4 points per game. They hold opponents to 37.0% shooting from the floor, a 28.3% clip on threes, and 18.4 free throw attempts per game. The Rams’ weakness is allowing 13.6 offensive rebounds per game. Rhode Island forces 12.1 turnovers per contest. Do they have what it takes to slow down the Bulldogs?

Best Bets for Yale vs. Rhode Island
Full-Game Side Bet
Insiders Status:
Rating:
Yale has allowed more than 90 points in three of their road games this season. Rhode Island’s offense already averages more than 90 points per game and is one of the toughest units that the Bulldogs have faced yet. The Rams will have a field day offensively, especially at the free throw line.
Meanwhile, Rhode Island’s defense has been great at forcing missed shots. They haven’t let an opponent reach 80 points yet, and even if the Bulldogs get there, they’ll be at least 10 points away from the lead. Bet on the Rams to beat the spread at home and remain perfect.
Prediction: Rhode Island -3.5
Full-Game Total Pick
Insiders Status:
Rating:
Each team in this game is stronger on the offensive end. Yale has scored at least 79 points in seven of their eight games. Nobody has held the Rams under 81 points this season.
Rhode Island’s tempo will add possessions to this game. The Rams live at the free throw line and Yale tends to allow a lot of free throws. Even without that, Rhode Island has a hyper-efficient offense. The Bulldogs are also an accurate team. Offensive rebounding should be an area where they shine in this matchup, buying them second chances to score. Bank on the over this week.
Prediction: Over 157.5
