Merrimack Warriors vs Fairleigh Dickinson Knights prediction
The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights should be up for this game at home, but I don't trust their defense against quality reams. The Merrimack Warriors are looking more and more like the team to beat in the Northeast as they've won 9 straight games, and they have a defense that travels. The Merrimack Warriors have 6 road wins on the season and are a profitable 16-10 ATS as well. The Fairleigh Dickinson Knights are 12-15 ATS on the season. The line isn't crazy. I'll ride the hot hand and lay the reasonable chalk with Merrimack.
