New Hampshire vs NJIT Prediction
I’m not excited to lay points with the NJIT Highlanders as much as the next guy, but if they’re going to win a game anytime soon, it would be here. The New Hampshire Wildcats are just as bad of a team, and being on the road where they’re 1-8 SU doesn’t help. At least the NJIT Highlanders are at home, where two of their three wins have come. New Hampshire is 6-11 ATS on the season. We’re not being asked to lay much, and these are two bad teams. So, if forced to pick, I’m going to lean toward the home side. That’s the NJIT Highlanders.
