Drexel vs Hampton Prediction
Hampton has the ability to win this game, as there’s not much separating Drexel and Hampton. The Pirates are also coming off a big upset win over Northeastern, which is a nice confidence booster coming back home. However, Drexel is 16-8 ATS on the season, which makes the Dragons one of the better cover teams in college basketball. Drexel has covered three straight games and five of its last seven games. Drexel also has six road wins this season, so this won’t be an intimidating game. I’ll lay the bucket with Drexel on the road Thursday night.
