Coppin State vs Howard Prediction 

Howard comes into this matchup looking for their third win in a row and they will be at home for this contest. The Bison are shooting 47.6% from the field and they have scored 100 points in each of their last two games. Howard has had some issues on defense, as they are allowing over 80 points against per game. Coppin State only has two wins on the season and they are shooting 36.9% from the field. The Eagles have been one of the worst teams in the country this year and they have also been very bad defensively. Coppin State has played slightly better over the last few weeks, but I can’t take them on the road with how poorly they shoot the ball. Take Howard to cover at home.
