Colgate vs Northeastern Prediction 

Colgate comes into this game with just two wins on the season, one of which was against a non D-1 opponent, and they will be on the road here. The Raiders are shooting just 43.7% from the field and they are scoring 66.2 points per game this year. Northeastern has lost two of their last three games, but they are the much better offensive team. I do think Northeastern gets the win here, but we have seen them play in plenty of close games. Take the points with Colgate.
