New Haven vs Mercyhurst Prediction
New Haven has 3 road wins this season and has been in a handful of close games, so you can make a case for the road team. However, we just saw Mercyhurst beat New Haven six days ago, shooting 49 percent from the field and 43 percent from three. I’d assume Mercyhurst will be even more comfortable at home where its won 7 games. Also, Mercyhurst is a profitable 12-7 ATS on the season which includes covers in 7 of its last 10 games. It’s not pretty ball, but Mercyhurst has been a cash cow over the last month. Give me the home team.
