Niagara Purple Eagles by 3
Okay, strap in because I'm only going to say this once. We're looking at the Niagara Purple Eagles facing off against the Fairfield Stags, and the stakes are high. It's MAAC Championship time.
The Niagara Purple Eagles have been faring well recently. With a slew of victories under their purple wings, the Eagles are soaring high. I mean, just look at what they did last month to the Siena Saints, turning them into mere lambs with a victory of 87-70.
Fairfield Stags, on the other hand, have been on a tear of their own. The Stags laid down the law against the Canisius Golden Griffins with a 77-64 victory.
Now, I'm just a guy calling the action as I see it, but is it possible the Purple Eagles have Fairfield's number here? After all, Nielsen ratings don't lie, and neither do past match stats. The Eagles had the Stags on a barbecue spit both times they squared off this past year.
Let's pause to talk players of interest. Aaliyah Parker and Angel Parker are a force on the court for the Eagles. Their points per game last month reads like a gas pump price... high.
On the Fairfield side of the court, Janelle Brown and Meghan Andersen have been keeping it real. Brown has been clocking in at 13.2 points per game with 4.0 rebounds, and Andersen doesn't lag far behind.
But enough chit chat. It's prediction time. It may seem like I am throwing a dart at a board here, but considering these factors, it looks like the Eagles have the edge despite the betting odds lean toward the Stags.
