Sacred Heart vs Miami-Ohio Prediction

The Miami (OH) RedHawks are the more talented team and should be favored at home, but they’re also 3-6 ATS on the season. Miami (OH) can struggle on defense, and that’s not ideal in the big favorite role. The Sacred Heart Pioneers recently beat Iona, Boston U, and Central Connecticut in the underdog role, so they’re not going to be intimidated. Sacred Heart also played UConn, so the Pioneers are battle-tested. I’ll take a stab with Sacred Heart and the free points.
