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

Match Analysis: Loyola (MD) Greyhounds vs NJIT Highlanders – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-11
• Time: 12:00 AM UTC
• Location: Reitz Arena, Baltimore, MD

Game Overview

Loyola (MD) Greyhounds host NJIT Highlanders in an early season NCAAB matchup with both teams coming in at 1-1 records. Loyola Maryland enters on strong recent form with a dominant 36-point win last game, displaying a robust offense and defense. NJIT has struggled offensively and defensively, suffering a 14-point loss last outing and averaging just 62.5 points per game.

Key Factors to Consider

• Loyola Maryland has shown strong home performance, winning 8 of their last 9 Tuesday games at Reitz Arena and scoring an average of 76 points per game recently. NJIT's offense is below average this season, shooting just 39.5% and averaging 62.5 points, with defensive vulnerabilities conceding 67.5 points per game.
• Recent data and simulations give Loyola a 72-75% chance to win versus NJIT’s 25-28%. Historical trends favor Loyola at home significantly; NJIT has lost 9 of last 10 night games against non-conference opponents away.
• No significant injuries reported for either team affecting projected starters or rotation players before the game.
• Home court advantage favors Loyola significantly; the venue is Reitz Arena in Baltimore, correlating with their strong home records. No weather, travel, or extraneous factors reported to influence outcome materially.
• Loyola likely highly motivated to assert dominance early in home conference play, following a commanding win. NJIT has motivation to rebound but faces psychological pressure from past night road losses and losing first halves in recent games.

Match Analysis: NJIT Highlanders vs Fairfield Stags – Prediction

Match Details

• Date: 2025-11-08
• Time: 7:00 PM UTC
• Location: Joel & Diane Bloom Wellness and Events Center, Newark, NJ

Game Overview

Fairfield Stags (0-1) visit NJIT Highlanders (1-0) in early-season non-conference action. Fairfield is a moderate road favorite, having lost narrowly at Penn State, while NJIT opened with a solid road win at Fordham. The market projects a moderate-paced, competitive game.

Key Factors to Consider

• NJIT started strong with a 72-61 road win at Fordham, shooting 54.5% from three, led by Bolden (18 pts, 7 reb), while Fairfield fell 76-68 at Penn State, struggling from the field (38.6% FG, 18.2% 3P) but excelling at the line (88.9% FT). NJIT’s recent home form is poor (lost 6 straight at home after road wins), but Fairfield’s recent day-game record vs. non-AP opponents is also concerning (lost 9 straight)[3][5].
• Recent H2H data not available; focus is on recent team trends and venue-specific performance.
• No significant injury reports found in available data.
• Game is at NJIT’s home court, but their recent home struggles after road wins are notable. Both teams are well-rested, coming off season openers earlier in the week.
• Both teams seeking early-season momentum. Fairfield aims to bounce back from a road loss, while NJIT looks to build on a promising road win and reverse poor home form.

🔥 Best Value Pick: Fairfield Stags at 62% EV | Suggested Bet Size: 31.9% (Kelly Criterion)

Predicted Outcome

This is a classic ‘trap’ game: Fairfield is favored, but NJIT’s hot shooting and Fairfield’s offensive struggles suggest the Highlanders can keep it close at home, and their home venue may not be as much of an advantage as the market assumes. The under is a strong play given both teams’ offensive inconsistencies and recent total trends.

Predicted Score: NJIT Highlanders 70, Fairfield Stags 68
