Hofstra vs Bucknell Prediction
Hofstra hasn’t played much defense through two games against D1 opponents, and those hiccups usually don’t go away on the road. Bucknell has been impressive through 3 games, beating Delaware by a decent margin and upsetting Mount St. Mary’s. Bucknell didn’t cover against Princeton, but had its chances in that game as well. Bucknell has been flexing its muscle defensively up to this point, and that could be the difference in this spot. This is another winnable game for the Bison. Give me Bucknell and the points.
