Everything came up roses for Hofstra on the road against the Elon Phoenix on Tuesday as the team secured a 97-64 victory.

Hofstra is the favorite in this one, with an expected 11.5-point margin of victory. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
