Canisius vs Maine Prediction
In this Canisius vs Maine Prediction, Maine is coming as -6.5 home favorites. Canisius has been the better team this season, as Maine has been absolutely terrible with just one win in their 12 games played so far and have been winless at home. Canisius has also been winless on the road and are 0-3 both straight up and against the spread in their last 3 games, so I see no value on either side. Both teams have been atrocious offensively, scoring just 120.5 points per game combined, so there is only one way to go in this game, and this is under 123.5 points.
