Mount St. Mary’s vs Quinnipiac Prediction
In this Mount St. Mary’s vs Quinnipiac Prediction, Quinnipiac is coming as -10 home favorites. Quinnipiac has been the better team this season as they have twice as many overall wins than Mount St. Mary’s and have been almost perfect at home, while Mount St. Mary’s has been terrible on the road. But they are 1-2 in their last 3 games, while Mount St. Mary’s is 3-1 in its last 4 so I see no value on either side. Both teams have been involved in some lower-scoring games lately, going for 10-2 to the under in their last 12 games combined, so I expect another low-scoring affair between two struggling offenses. Take the under 150.5 points.
