Milwaukee vs Northern Kentucky Prediction
The Northern Kentucky Norse have not only lost four straight games, but they’re 4-14 ATS on the season. There’s no way anybody can get behind Northern Kentucky with any sort of confidence. The Milwaukee Panthers have had covering issues lately themselves, but 9-10 ATS on the season is still better than Northern Kentucky. Also, Milwaukee has four road wins this season and is coming off a strong road win over Wright State where the Panthers scored 95 points. We’re only laying a bucket. I have to side with the Milwaukee Panthers on Friday night over Northern Kentucky.
