Match Analysis: NJIT Highlanders vs Fairleigh Dickinson Knights – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: November 15, 2025
• Time: 9:00 PM UTC
• Location: Joel & Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center, Newark, NJ

Game Overview

NJIT Highlanders (2-1) host struggling Fairleigh Dickinson Knights (0-3) in a Northeast Conference matchup. NJIT enters as heavy favorites with a 54.92% win probability according to consensus predictions, while FDU has yet to record a victory this season. This represents a significant talent and form disparity, with NJIT showing defensive stability and FDU struggling across all metrics.

Key Factors to Consider

• NJIT has won 2 of its last 3 games, including a narrow 66-64 road victory over Loyola Maryland on November 11. The Highlanders are averaging 63.7 points per game with solid defensive metrics (66.3 PPG allowed, ranked 98th nationally, 37.2% opponent FG%). However, they shoot only 38.3% from the field (335th in the nation) and 24.0% from three-point range. Fairleigh Dickinson has dropped all three games this season, most recently falling 53-74 to Fairfield on November 8. FDU is turning the ball over 15.0 times per game and allowing 90.5 points per game on 51.5% opponent shooting—extremely poor defensive marks. While FDU averages 96 PPG offensively, this is inflated by their defensive weakness and hasn't translated to wins.
• No recent head-to-head history is provided in the available data. These programs appear to have limited recent matchup history, making this a relatively fresh rivalry dynamic.
• No injury information is provided in the search results. Assume full roster availability for both teams unless otherwise noted.
• NJIT plays at home where they have been 2-0 against the spread in their last 3 games and have won 6 of their last 7 first halves at home against Northeast Conference opponents. Fairleigh Dickinson is 0-3 and has lost 11 consecutive games against non-conference opponents. Additionally, NJIT has shown a concerning trend of losing 7 consecutive games at their home venue (Joel & Diane Bloom Center) following a road win—this is directly applicable as they won on the road against Loyola before returning home.
• NJIT is motivated to maintain home-court dominance and build on their 2-1 start. Fairleigh Dickinson faces desperation at 0-3 but is facing an elite defensive matchup at an opponent's arena. Home teams have won 5 consecutive FDU games (not specified for which direction), suggesting environmental factors favor the home team.

🔥 Best Value Pick: Under 146.5 at 26% EV | Suggested Bet Size: 28.6% (Kelly Criterion)

Predicted Outcome

NJIT Highlanders to win via controlled home defense against a struggling FDU offense. Despite NJIT's historical struggles at their home venue following road wins, the massive talent gap and FDU's complete inability to execute on defense (51.5% opponent shooting allowed) suggests this edge is overwhelmed by matchup quality. Expect a low-scoring, defensive battle where NJIT's disciplined approach prevails. The total leans under due to NJIT's recent defensive consistency and both teams' inability to generate offensive efficiency.

Predicted Score: NJIT 65, Fairleigh Dickinson 58

Game Overview

Texas's offense is significantly more potent, averaging 78.5 points per game versus the Knights' 66.5, and their defense is also stronger, allowing just 67.5 PPG compared to Fairleigh Dickinson's 90.5.

Key Factors to Consider

• Texas shows stronger offensive efficiency and rebounding (especially Matas Vokietaitis with 14.5 PPG, 9.5 RPG). Fairleigh Dickinson struggles defensively, giving up 51.2% FG and over 90 points per game while shooting poorly from three and the free throw line.
