Mercyhurst vs Miami (OH) Prediction
Mercyhurst is off to a fine start and has shown some life offensively, and that includes a road win over Loyola Chicago as a 21.5-point underdog earlier in the season. However, I still need a larger sample size to believe this start from Mercyhurst is real. Miami (OH) is playing well on both sides of the ball, has shown good offensive depth, and it’s covered each of its last 7 games. Miami (OH) is 15-4 ATS in its last 19 games as a favorite. Trends aren’t everything, but when a team cashes tickets at that efficiency, you ride the hot hand until it runs cold. I’ll lay the points with Miami (OH).
