Mercer vs Queens Prediction

This should be a fun game between two teams that are coming off strong weeks. The difference is the Queens Royals are at home, and they’re heating up offensively. The Mercer Bears aren’t close to the same team on the road as they are at home, and they’ve scored under 70 points in two of their last four road games. The Queens Royals have topped 80 points in three straight games, two of those games coming on the road. At home, Queens should like its chances to keep things flowing. I’ll lay the bucket.
