Binghamton vs Mercyhurst Prediction


Binghamton is not a good team on either side of the ball and the one game it should have won it lost to Maryland-Eastern Shore in a matchup it only scored 52 points. Binghamton has been an underdog all season and is 3-7 ATS on the season. Mercyhurst is a battle tested group that’s hung around with decent teams, and it smoked Morgan State in one of the few games it was favored in. Mercyhurst is the comfortably better side. I’ll lay the points on Saturday afternoon.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Mercyhurst -8.5
