Boston University vs Merrimack Prediction

Away from home I really don’t trust Boston to find success. Merrimack’s offense has been inconsistent at times, but they are going to find success here. Boston is giving up 69 points per game and they are going to really struggle to defend here. Boston’s offense is going to struggle to keep up and it’s going to be Merrimack that is going to get the job done. Back Merrimack against the spread.
