Merrimack vs Rutgers Prediction

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have failed to cover 8 of their last 10 games, and yet they keep getting these inflated numbers. However, the Merrimack Warriors have shown zero signs of life on the offensive end, and it’s fair to say Rutgers is the best team they’ve faced yet. I doubt this is the game Merrimack finds its footing on the offensive side. How are the Warriors going to score? The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are living up to the hype so far and this should be another routine victory. Give me Rutgers in a home blowout.
