Central Connecticut Blue Devils vs. Northeastern Huskies Prediction

I’m on the Blue Devils and the points in this one. I just think that CCSU is the better team in this game by a fair margin, and Northeastern, while they play in the better conference, is still just not up to this CCSU defense and I think the Blue Devils can stay in this number. Give me the Blue Devils.
