Albany vs New Hampshire Prediction
The New Hampshire Wildcats are a god-awful team that I want nothing to do with. New Hampshire has not only won just two games this season but is 3-11 ATS on the season. New Hampshire has gone nearly two months without a victory and has failed to cover six of its last seven games. It doesn’t matter what you think of the Albany Great Danes, backing New Hampshire is simply not an option. The Albany Great Danes do have a couple of road wins this season and shoot the ball well enough to expose a bad New Hampshire defense. I have no choice but to lay the points with Albany on the road.
