Hofstra vs Northeastern Prediction
I’m not running to the window to back the Northeastern Huskies, a team that’s failed to cover five straight games. However, the Hofstra Pride have lost and failed to cover each of their last three games. In those results, Hofstra has failed to reach the 70-point mark. Northeastern has simply had more success this season and shoots a healthy 46.6 percent from the field. If Hofstra continues to have issues scoring the basketball, Northeastern should run away with this contest. In a battle of two shaky teams, I’m going to lay the bucket with Northeastern at home.
