Bryant vs Albany Prediction
The Bryant Bulldogs are probably the more talented team, and they’ve won three games on the road this season. I can understand being favored. However, neither Bryant nor Albany is anything to write home about, and I’m not laying points with either side. Bryant and Albany are also a combined 11-20 ATS on the season, which doesn’t make me feel any better. The Bryant Bulldogs are 3-6 ATS in their last nine games, and they’re not a favorite a lot of the time. Basically, I’m saying these are two mid-teams that shouldn’t be favored much. So, if forced to pick, I’m going to take my chances with Albany at home and the free bucket.Â
