Why the Northeastern Huskies will win

• Northeastern has won the first half in seven of its last nine day games played at neutral venues.

Northeastern vs Florida International Prediction

The FIU Golden Panthers haven’t looked good against Division One teams this season and the defense needs to tighten up. The Northeastern Huskies are not only winning games, but they’re 4-0 ATS. Northeastern is lighting it up offensively and could be a team to watch down the stretch once CAA play picks up. This is pretty much a home game for FIU with it being played in Fort Myers, but I’m not stepping in front of Northeastern. I’ll lay the chalk.
