Binghamton vs. Marist Prediction

I’m taking Binghamton and the points here. I get why you could look at Marist here, as the Red Foxes have been rock solid at home and are on quite the run, but so is Binghamton, and the Bearcats have had some solid defensive numbers up to this point in the year. I think that Marist could probably win this game, but I think Binghamton can give them a battle here. Give me the Bearcats and the points.
