NJIT vs Morgan State Prediction
I’m not running to the window to lay points with the Morgan State Bears, but this is an indication of just how bad the NJIT Highlanders are. NJIT has yet to win a game this season, is shooting under 40 percent from the field, and is 1-9 SU and 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games. The NJIT Highlanders provide zero betting value at the moment and are an automatic fade until showing some sort of life. Morgan State has the offense to pull away in the second half. It’s the Morgan State Bears or pass early Saturday morning.
