Boston Univ. vs Bucknell Prediction
Boston Univ. beat Bucknell a couple of weeks ago in overtime, and that will give the Terriers confidence entering this contest. However, Boston Univ. has had issues stepping up in competition and it led to an 0-4 SU and ATS record in its last four games as an underdog. Bucknell has seen eight of its 11 wins this season come at home. Bucknell has also won three of its last four games, and that one loss was a game against Army where 226 combined points were scored. Bucknell has to like its form over the last week. The line is reasonable. Give me Bucknell to get revenge on Boston Univ.
