Northeastern vs Drexel Prediction

In this Northeastern vs Drexel Prediction, Drexel is coming as -4.5 favorites. Drexel has been the better team this season and are better against the spread, with a 17-13 ATS record compared to Northeastern’s 11-19. They are 3-1 in their last 4 games, while Northeastern won yesterday in the conference first round and ended their previous 12-game losing streak, but they have an atrocious defense, allowing 13.8 points per game more than Drexel, who ranks 22nd in the entire nation in points allowed. Drexel has also been dominating their recent meetings against Northeastern, with a 8-1 record and have won both meetings this season by 9 and 5 points, so I expect them to win and cover the -4.5 spread today.
