Iona Gaels at Siena Saints Prediction

Iona is the public play here and to their credit they do have a positive record going 13-8 on the year, but they've won just three of their nine road games this season. Sieena has lost just one game at home at that came against an underrated Vermont team. They've gone 4-0 at home in the Metro Atlantic Conference and while they're a mediocre 2-2 versus the spread in those games the line is so low in this game that it is unlikely to be a factor.
