Albany vs Vermont Prediction


Vermont is usually a buzz saw at home and has a history of magic in March. However, this isn’t the same team we’ve seen from past seasons and Vermont is just 12-16 ATS on the season. We saw Albany beat Vermont back in January as a 5.5-point underdog. Also, Albany nearly beat UMBC on the road while upsetting NJIT and Bryant last month. Albany is playing some of its best ball of the season and has four road wins. This has a chance of being a competitive, hard-fought game. Give me the points.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Albany +7.5
