Colgate vs Drexel Prediction

In this Colgate vs Drexel Prediction, Drexel is coming as -1.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off defeats in their opening games of the season, as Drexel hot destroyed by 29 points in Virginia but will be playing their home opener of the season today, while Colgate lost by 14 on the road and will be forced to start the season with back-to-back road games. Colgate was bad on the road and against the spread last season with a 12-19 ATS record, while Drexel was strong at home and had a 18-14 ATS record, so I like them at home in this spot. They had better defensive stats (steals and blocks) despite their blowout loss and I expect them to be better on both sides of the court at home. Take Drexel on the moneyline at home in this one.
