Holy Cross vs Loyola (MD) Prediction
The Holy Cross Crusaders have not only lost four straight games where the defense continues to struggle, but they’ve also failed to cover four of their last five games as an underdog. The Loyola (MD) Greyhounds hung with Holy Cross earlier this month, losing by two points, and they should like their chances for revenge at home, where four of their eight wins have come. Two subpar teams at best, but the line is soft and there’s no way I can back Holy Cross in its current form. Loyola (MD) should win this game at home to kind of right the ship on its season.
