Morgan State vs Niagara Prediction
In this Morgan State vs Niagara Prediction, Niagara is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off opposite outcomes in their previous games as Morgan State has been undefeated this season but will be tested for the first time on the road, while Niagara got destroyed in its season opener, losing by 45 points in West Virginia but will be playing their home opener of the season. Morgan State has been playing excellent defense this season, holding opponents into just 55 points per game and Niagara will be in trouble until it gets both its offensive and defensive woes in check. Morgan State’s numbers are inflated because of weak competition, but I don’t like what I saw from Niagara, so the value here lies with Morgan State as road dogs. Take Morgan State and grab the +3.5 points on the road.
