Binghamton vs Northwestern Prediction
In this Binghamton vs Northwestern Prediction, Northwestern is coming as -24.5 home favorites. Binghamton was very bad last season and were terrible on the road with a 1-14 record, while struggling on the offensive end, ranking on the bottom-30 of the nation in points per game. On the flip side, Northwestern had a below average record but finished last season strong, with a perfect 5-0 ATS record against teams like Purdue, Indiana and Minnesota, so even though it’s a new season, I don’t think they will have trouble in their season opener at home against Binghamton. Take Northwestern and lay the -24.5 points.
