UMass Lowell vs New Hampshire Prediction
UMass Lowell has done a good job of winning the games it’s supposed to win, and that includes scoring 97 points against New Hampshire last month, winning by 17 points. New Hampshire has a couple of recent wins over NJIT and UMBC, but it still has just six wins on the season and is 8-16 ATS. It’s hard to take New Hampshire seriously, and UMass Lowell is top-50 in scoring offense and top-25 in field goal percentage offense. New Hampshire just doesn’t have the offensive horses to scare UMass Lowell. I’ll roll with the River Hawks in a double-digit road victory.
