• Northeastern has won 12 of its last 15 night games against non-conference opponents at Matthews Arena.

La Salle vs Northeastern Prediction

The Northeastern Huskies have shown us more in terms of competition and playing on the road, so they should like their chances to keep things going at home. Northeastern is far and away the more trustworthy offensive team and La Salle plays at a quicker tempo which could cause issues. The Northeastern Huskies just look like the better team and have covered 6 of their last 8 games as well. You could argue this line should be steeper than what it is. I’ll lay the bucket with the Northeastern Huskies at home.
