Lehigh vs Bucknell Prediction

Bucknell was upset at home over the weekend, and we should see stronger play from them  in order to avoid dropping a second straight game on their floor. Lehigh snapped a two-game skid on Saturday themselves, but they’ve struggled on the road this season, and the Bison need to get back into the win column. This in-state battle is annually contested, so the Over has a chance to get clear, but let’s back Bucknell this Monday night.
