Long Island vs Mercyhurst Prediction

The Mercyhurst Lakers have six of their nine wins at home this season, but they’re heading in the wrong direction overall, mainly due to an offense that’s scored less than 70 points in eight of their last 10 games. Long Island is playing its best ball of the season with wins in six of its last seven games and it’s covered eight of its last 10 games. The Long Island University Sharks are now 13-7 ATS on the season. LIU also just beat Mercyhurst a few days ago in overtime. We have two teams heading in different directions and the line isn’t anything crazy. Give me Long Island and the small chalk.
