Lehigh vs American Prediction
Americans should be favored at home, where it’s played well. However, this is a lot of points to give a Lehigh team that beat American a couple of weeks ago. Lehigh is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 games against American. Also, American has moments where it can’t score the ball, and it’s led to losses to Lafayette and Loyola Maryland over the last month. A battle between two of the top-four teams in the Patriot. I expect a competitive contest. Give me the points.
