Vermont vs New Hampshire Prediction
The Vermont Catamounts are obviously the more talented team and a blowout could take place. However, Vermont shoots 41.2 percent from the field and doesn’t score a lot. I just don’t believe Vermont has the offensive horses needed to win comfortably. The New Hampshire Wildcats have issues of their own and don’t play defense, but both of their wins this season came at home. We’ve also seen Vermont lose outright in the favorite role four times since November 24. Vermont and New Hampshire are a combined 5-21 ATS this season, so I’m not running to the window to back either side. So, if forced to pick, give me New Hampshire and the points at home.
