VCU Rams vs Dayton Flyers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/06/26

The VCU Rams and the Dayton Flyers will meet on Friday night for their last game of the 2026-26 regular season. Both teams will head to Pittsburgh next week to play in the Atlantic 10 Tournament and try to clinch a bid to the NCAA Tournament. VCU has a chance to make the Big Dance as an at-large team, but a loss here would be detrimental to those hopes. Dayton will need to win the league tournament to make the field of 68, but it is playing better than anyone in the conference of late. The Flyers are on a 6-game winning streak, and I expect them to keep it going. Dayton is currently -1.5 and I am backing it to cover.

The Flyers have just 2 losses at home all year and easily beat A-10 leader St. Louis on February 24. Since February 25, the Flyers are ranked as the #21 team in the country and have the #19 ranked defense at Bart Torvik. They are 6-0 during that span and are shooting an impressive 41.8 percent from 3. The Rams could struggle to score on this Dayton defense, as they rank just #63 nationally in scoring over their last 4 games. I expect Dayton to maintain momentum.

VCU vs Dayton prediction: Dayton -1.5 (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable to -3.
